      I have been working at Harley-Davidson, Inc. full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      A lot of passion. Great products. A lot of capabilities in a laid back atmosphere.

      Cons

      A lot of talk and indecision. Some uncertainty in the industry.

      Advice to Management

      As we move into future innovative products, trust our internal capabilities. When we bring in external engineering/manufacturing experts in, we often know more than they do. If we are better at designing or manufacturing things, we should continue to do it ourselves in Milwaukee. Our customers want as much as possible designed and manufactured in Milwaukee so let’s encourage that.
