Pros

Has many well know premium audio brands. Backup with Samsung is great but keeping the operation independent from Samsung, which is good. Opportunity to work with many departments, products, and technologies.

Cons

Too big and too many products. "Brand Name" is the only core strength of this company. None of the products (speaker, headphone, amp, noise-canceling technology, infotainment, cybersecurity, analytics data, AI, digital cockpit, telematics control units and etc) are not top end. Many "dreamer" top executives without a clear execution plan and follow-through mechanism. Need more collaboration work with Samsung.

Pros

Overall a typical IT services organization and nothing much to talk about pros

Cons

Connected Services HR don't have any process in place to listen to employees and address their concerns. In terms of salary, better join with good package. Once you are in the system don't expect any decent hike

Pros

- good work life balance - good brand - discount on harman and samsung products

Cons

- salary cut due to covid, this is forced discussion by organziation but HR says this is voluntary fund. - lay off - lot of changes in policy due to covid , impacting directly to employees benefits - no one listen to you, they will keep you working on tech that you don't like. they will not assign you to project where your skillset matches.
