Pluspunten
Expanding at a neck breaking speed. Many open jobs. Nice employee discounts for both Harman products and; separately, Samsung lines
Minpunten
Sweatshop! The automotive business in Michigan is booming especially for Harman. I’ve never seen it before in any other company where 1/2 of the staff on so many Fridays at 6:30pm still working. Too many new employees whom are green and need to be trained. Outsourcing to Mexico and India is normally OK but when you have a new customer and a new team with very limited knowledge about the product that they’re designing and selling is a recipe for trouble. Add to that the economical squeeze when Samsung overpaid when they bought Harman. Improper decisions were made. Harman makes speakers internally but had to buy speakers from another supplier because management did not want to expand the manufacturing plant to accommodate for the added business. Needless to say; the customer had to be informed and was extremely unhappy. Trouble. I left for a totally different reason. The workload didn’t match the compensation.
