Pros

- Get paid on schedule - Amazing employee discount (~50% off) - Some decent employees to chat with about how dysfunctional this company is - Company is riding the wave of connected car, without having the tools, systems or processes to come out on top. SAMSUNG scale and cash pool alone are not enough as A+ employees are driven by purpose, culture and strong co-workers... all of which HARMAN lacks.

Cons

- Majority of employees throw each other under the bus. Stems from very few people pulling in their weight - Tech company with very poor internal tech tools. No process. - High attrition - most people I knew were ready to jump ship in 2017 - Highly micro-managed environment - Poor talent. Majority employees are B- players due to which new products or those requiring significant integration usually take 2-3 years to perfect/work out the bugs once released. - Poor culture, values are a joke and very few on the leadership team have the vision, composure and empathy needed to motivate employees

Pros

The culture and the benefits are fairly good in comparison with other tech companies. Lots of opportunities to bring in changes and improvements. Good learning experience overall. Employees are given Harmon products at huge discounts.

Cons

Things change too fast all of a sudden. Two month back they were hiring people and now they are looking to consolidate the site locations and laying off people. Yet to see the impact of samsung acquisition. Professional Solutions division is performing very poorly.

Pros

1. Flexible timings 2. Free lunch coupon.

Cons

1. Poor HR team, few HR manager doesn't know the HR policies. They are always busy in conducting events, better call them as event organizers. 2. Manager's decision is final. It is waste of time to escalate on them. Nothing will be changed. 3. If you're on the bench, it is difficult to get the project, if you are on the bench for 4 weeks then you will be forced to resign. 4. There are no onsite opportunities, there is no formal H1B process, don't expect any onsite. Onsite depends on your project and how close and obedient to your manager. Most of the time you will get the chance of short term Business visit opportunities. 5. Work life balance depends on your project, In some projects Managers forcefully ask you work on late nights and weekends. 6. Salary increment is between 2 to 8 percent.
