Business Outlook

Pros

Some Harman divisions still have amazing engineers and products. There is still a connection to an amazing heritage, and the opportunity to work on advanced projects.

Cons

More and more of the work is being moved to China and India, and the Harman heritage and tribal knowledge is at risk of being lost forever.

The company's bosses will probably make the company prosperous, but they'll sacrifice employees to do it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Harman has a legacy of outstanding audio from famous brands such as JBL and Harman Kardon. It's especially strong in automotive and concert sound.

Cons

Cost-cutting may have weakened the quality of the company's products and has definitely led to layoffs and outsourcing.
