Pros

Huge brand and a very cool product. In IS, based on the visionary leadership of the ex-CIO, the business now has capabilities that other companies take for granted, we have personally grown by learning the best technologies (makes us very marketable IT professionals) and we have stretched our experiences globally.

Cons

Sr. Leadership doesn't seem to have the experience to execute, there is too much politics and everybody is out for themselves. From an IS perspective, when the CIO left we lost our visionary on how to continue to bring Harley into this century (from an IT perspective). Now it seems that Sr. Leadership thinks we can just keep making the remaining 30 year old systems work in this century. We just took a giant step backwards in IT.

Pros

The product, good people who work hard, discounts on bikes, rallys, pay is okay.

Cons

Dwindling benefits, multiple layers of management (leadership) which equates to big bureaucracy. Managers report to managers, Sr. Managers, Directors with one report, this company isn't big enough to support that kind of structure. Too political; promotions seem to go to fast talkers, egotists, people who kiss up and back-stabbers. Applying for opportunities in other areas just makes your current boss mad.
