Pros

Great Product and History. Great job for those who can have contact with customers. Good opportunity to get a diversified background in product design.

Cons

Key leaders are now gone that lead product innovation and design. Since 2005 H-D has disregarded experience and knowledge of product and gone to cheap labor and outsourcing in the effort to bolster its stock (fooling most Wall Street groups). Recent departures of key engineering personnel either by choice or forced out is leaving the company powerless to lead the industry.

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.
