Harman has figured out how to draw blood from a stone - everyone is overworked!

Pros

Fairly competitive pay Great sounding product Some people who have been in the industry for a very long time and new Harman in the good old days

Cons

IT infrastructure is among the worst I've ever seen Complete lack of resources - Leads to a finger pointing, non-cooperative work environment - Incredibly high amount of office politics Too much outsourcing to India and China

Harman Professional, long term employee

Pros

Some of the smartest and most talented people in the professional A/V industry have worked at Harman so you are working with a great team of people. The company pay and benefits package is competitive with the industry. It's a large company so they have the financial resources to support major projects and initiatives. The strong brand names provide a competitive position in the market and open doors with potential partners.

Cons

The professional group has gone through several phases of consolidation and downsizing over the last few years. They lost the spirit and passion that made brands like AKG, Studer, JBL Pro, Sound Craft, AMX and Martin great in the first place. They are now really more of a consumer oriented A/V electronics company using commonly available generic parts riding on the past success of the brands. Only time will tell how this strategy works out going forward.
