Pros

Benefits, salary, passion brand appeal

Cons

This is specific to HQ in Milwaukee. Seasonal reorgs and layoffs, Masked discrimination if you have a non-English name or accent. They stare at you when you speak with an accent as if you are an allien although you’re the smartest person in a room full of shortsighted and narrow minded people with fat titles. Leaders with mind-boggling arrogance and attitude. HR are brutal, their job is to fire people or find ways to fire people. Talk a good game about diversity and inclusion but know nothing about it. Highest levels of ignorance when it comes to international business, true hillbillies. Zero global mindset. Managerial and executive positions are highly driven by politics. They make you feel that you should be grateful to be an H-D employee even if you are being boxed and abused mentally with their lack of stability and never ending reorgs. They do not treat employees with dignity even if they were living on their own. They sell freedom and bond in their ads while their internal culture is nowhere near. You only realize how bad it is when you leave.

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.
