Business Outlook

Pros

Company policies are really good like leaves, 3months medical, and others Flexible timing Cab transportation

Cons

Car audio is worst division with No New projects Irritating managers with too much micro management and with out any management skills. Manager is boss, you are not allowed to question or seek clarification. No career growth if you joining from other product company difficult to work. too much internal politics. No work life balance and employee is not respected.

You will feel like Contractor here!!

Senior product engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Depends on project. Often confused with Harman International which is product based. Harman Connected Services is completely client based and has nothing to do with Harman products like JBL, Kardonn.

Cons

1. Very low pay scale : Ppl with 10 yrs exp are working at 12 lpa here. 2. You are just a resource to them and not an employee. 3. Your manager wont even bother about you as far as billing is coming. 4. No one hears your feedbacks or complaints. Nothing will be considered even if heard. 5. You will be told that you will have to work as the client says no matter what the demand is. 6. You will be working from client office in most cases. 7. In covid situation they have shown their status - deduction in salary, no hikes, leaves deduction, no variable pay.
