Pros

Helpful, smart, and friendly workforce. A lot of tribal knowledge although many of the smart old timers are running for the doors. Clean, organized floor.

Cons

The company WAS a great place to work. You used to feel like you were an important part of the family. Now you feel like the scared red headed stepchild of the family. Way too many upper management and bean counters. It's ALL about the stock price now. Employee involvement is almost non existent. If the company could get robotic androids to do the work, they would. Not real interested in suggestions. Just make sure you don't get hurt, or are late for work. They are looking for every reason to try and eliminate higher paid union worker, and replace them with temps, and casual workers at half the price.

Pros

My hiring journey began with a seamless application process, followed immediately by an incredibly organized scheduling phase. The Harley team kept me informed every step of the way. I never had to guess where I stood, as next steps were always laid out clearly. During the interview experience the entire Harley team panel was professional, welcoming, and were genuinely interested in my background, making the interview feel like a collaborative conversation. The transparency throughout the process gave me complete confidence when I ultimately accepted the job offer.

Cons

I have no cons to call out based on my experience in the interview process.
