HARMAN reviews

Sweatshop! The automotive business in Michigan is booming especially for Harman. I’ve never seen it before in any other company where 1/2 of the staff on so many Fridays at 6:30pm still working. Too many new employees whom are green and need to be trained. Outsourcing to Mexico and India is normally OK but when you have a new customer and a new team with very limited knowledge about the product that they’re designing and selling is a recipe for trouble. Add to that the economical squeeze when Samsung overpaid when they bought Harman. Improper decisions were made. Harman makes speakers internally but had to buy speakers from another supplier because management did not want to expand the manufacturing plant to accommodate for the added business. Needless to say; the customer had to be informed and was extremely unhappy. Trouble. I left for a totally different reason. The workload didn’t match the compensation.

Don't ever take up an offer from Harman connected services, it's the worst place to work. Esp if you are working under a particular GOC director (no name). People don't repect you for your work but only for politics. No Hikes at all. You can't take leaves even for medical emergencies as it impacts their billing which is only thing they are concerned about. Even if you are admitted the first ques will be have you informed / taken permission from client manager. No options for growth. They will emphasize on trainings and being more technically groomed but if you want to take any training/certification they will not be supportive and don't approve it. Horrible people management . Salary is reduced day by day in terms of cutting client incentive , travel incentive rather then getting a hike. Even if you perform excellently you will nt even get your varaiable pay saying that they are doing cost cutting and BU hasn't performed that well overall.
