Pros

Well known brands, experience looks good on resume. Interesting, challenging work. Pride in working for company. Previously had "Disney-like" culture driven by Sidney Harman's personal vision that the employee was the key to the company success.

Cons

In application for position, biggest concern of company was relocation expenses. Reinforced in every conversation. Entire hiring decision was based on expected pay out of expenses and not best qualified candidate. Sr. Hiring Manager and Randstad outsource HR recruiter appeared pressured if too much/anything was spent on relocation.

Pros

Good salary package only during joining After that hike will be given only if you are close to manager and say yes to everything he says [ even if he says put that glass over there]

Cons

1. No Career path defined, only if you bring this issue they will think of that. 2. some people [although don't know anything] think tha they know every aspect of automotive domain in this world. 3. Leads and managers have very bossy attitude and would blame you for everything. 4. Company does not provide tools, and resources to everyone..you need to beg, borrow and steal.. I really do not have words to describe the work-culture in Harman, people specially managers do not have any professional ethics...only thing they know is "Make it Happen"...how and in what way they don''t know...
