Great place to work, transitioning after acquisition

Pros

Great people, healthy work environment, positive team culture. Managers empower team members to guide themselves until they ask for help. Contributions are recognized and appreciated, if not always matched with monetary compensation. Very low turnover. Some nice perks like $3 catered lunch, free popcorn, foosball in the break room, flexible hours. Vacation is fair. 401K match is excellent. Starting salaries are pretty good.

Cons

Pay is good, but raises are small. Not much in the way of bonuses while we were AMX, but after the Harman acquisition, some levels of employees can qualify for bonuses based on their and the company's performance. Health insurance is VERY, VERY expensive, and it is a progressive premium, hitting higher compensated employees harder.

Good brand, terrible management

Pros

- You get to work with the best brands in audio - sense of pride associated with the brand - Good opportunities to learn - Hopefully with new management things may look better

Cons

Horrible management, HR is just namesake and too partial. The top tier of management can get away with almost anything - being insensitive, racist, abusive and insecure! Some of these managers are heavily sided by the top level, hence making the work environment really bad and toxic. The company is just not run like an MNC , rather has no cultural values in India. It is run like a 'kirana' store, due to incompetent and partial HR top management in India.
