Pros

- Can sell dreams. All lies told to employees when they join. Never ever join this company. This company is sold to Symphony Teleca and not Harman bought Symphony Telca.

Cons

- Not much Big Data work. Only branding as big data analytics work. - This is the only company in the world where preference is given to vendors like Symphony teleca and wipro not because they are talented but because people in US can save their jobs when markets dont do well. - Native employees are not even given little bit of respect full favourtism for Symphiny Teleca employees again thats the policy of higher management to give more preference to Symphony teleca because of this current employees are leaving. - No onsite opportunities for Harman emoployees ever but contractors of Symphony Teleca go onsite for both short term and long term and native employees are not given chance again here discrimination is happening for native employees. - Very or no hike for employees of Harman but managers make sure Symphony employees get good hikes and positions. - All good work is goes to Symphony team and then few employees left around in Harman feel discarded due to politics of services company and then they leave. - For Harman employee selection procedure is very rigorous and comprises of many rounds and managers makes sure they are never selected so that job can go to Symphony Teleca who never have to go through such rigorous rounds and infact get better work and if good setting with managers then good pay too. - This big data team is worst managed and full of cunning politics. - Harman employees are told lies that they will sent to US for onsite jobs but such jobs goes to Symphony Teleca. - Symphiny Teleca top managers fool top management of harman about their talent but ground reality is very different. - Boot lickers are awarded. - Company will select employees based upon the company brand irrespective of their talent. - If anyone wants to work on bugs and support can join Harman with a good starting salary because quality work will be given to Symphony teleca and if you show resent then be prepared to face the politics which will ultimately lead you to switch.

Pros

Great people, outside of management. Great products. Very smart, driven, and passionate team.

Cons

Egotistical maniacs at the top. Promotions and awards are given to the least qualified and least deserving. Credit for success never reaches those who facilitate it while failures and mistakes quickly passes to others.

Pros

I moved to this company from Samsung with hope of good work . Work is good , i worked for HMI team , i worked for North America team. Less than year Tenure with company was a horrifying for me.

Cons

1. Bangalore NA team Managers Acts like Hitlers. 2. There no work life balance , they expect us to work more than 12 hours and not to compliant or say that we are working. 3. US Counter part's are Dumb ( if you correct them their EGO hurts) and starts Complaining the Director (specially female counter parts are Complaint box's ) 4. If you put your point in front of Managers and Directors in they get offended and they show you warning letter rather discussing with the matter , because we should not talk in front of them. 5. HR are Toy's of Managers and Directors they don't even ask if Employee is having some problem. 6. Dumb Indian Team Leads , who does not know to fix how to code or doesn't know how to close the code block with flower braces.
