Pros

Cool product, customers are still unbelievably loyal, great co-workers

Cons

Senior Leadership is the worst and Harley has become one of the most political places I've ever seen. CEO came from the auto world making batteries and is known for breaking people down and outsourcing the world for a buck. President really only knows purchasing. Head of engineering also is a purchasing person. CIO came from purchasing. Head of HR is a lawyer. See the pattern? The prior leadership team understood motorcycling, the brand and were reachable with integrity. This team will bury you and in a second. The culture here changed to the worst almost overnight when new leadership took over. Almost all innovation in product development is gone...basically we are just making the same stuff with different colors and accessories.

Pros

My hiring journey began with a seamless application process, followed immediately by an incredibly organized scheduling phase. The Harley team kept me informed every step of the way. I never had to guess where I stood, as next steps were always laid out clearly. During the interview experience the entire Harley team panel was professional, welcoming, and were genuinely interested in my background, making the interview feel like a collaborative conversation. The transparency throughout the process gave me complete confidence when I ultimately accepted the job offer.

Cons

I have no cons to call out based on my experience in the interview process.
