Vantaggi
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.
Svantaggi
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.
