Far too rigid, and way too driven by the end of the month numbers.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits, and great people to work with.

Cons

Numbers driven environment, over-rides any sensible decisions. They would sell their Granny if it helped them reach month end figures! Slow product development, and too much out-sourcing of resources to India.

Pros

Audio is fun, work with good technology and great discounts on Harman equipment. The direct management is good to work with

Cons

The management above the director level are really bad, they don't care about the people working at the ground level and want to send pretty much all the work to china

worst place to work ( 6 people in a tiny cubicle can you imagine !)

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

the sound technology. some big names in automotive as customers.

Cons

the management in india has no vision and roadmap. management is trying to do too many things at once and worries about only their targets/bonus and never for employees.No proper place for work environment. like in one tiny cubicle 6 people are sitting and management does not care about it. Though it calls itself a product company it is just another W**RO. ( people, culture everything !) some managers are like dictators and totally incompetent.
