Cool company if they stuck to what they know. Great sounding products, amps, speakers and car audio. Could retake their proper place as best in class, if...

Cons

Pros

There are lots of opportunities for the right talents and right organizational cultural fit. Learning potential in various areas if also great. Famous products and brands.

Cons

Very fast-paced and dynamic environment. Not for the faint-hearted or the laid back. Risk-taking not yet a welcome practice. Innovation could be improved.

Pros

Most of the roles offer great challenging work. The company pays at the 50th percentile (not too good but not horrible either). It offers somewhat decent benefits+dental plans.

Cons

Unless you are personal friends with someone higher up, you will not make it in this company; if you are a female, make sure you review Harman's female #s as it relates to leadership before you make a decision about joining the company.
