Pros

Flexible working hours and hybrid/remote options. Exposure to emerging technologies and digital transformation projects.

Cons

Office Politics: Internal politics strongly influence career progression. Decisions are often driven by favoritism rather than merit. Lack of Growth & Recognition: Even employees who consistently exceed performance expectations are often denied promotions or salary increments for more than 4-5 years. There's no structured feedbacck, or path for advancement. Leadership Gaps: Many leadership positions are filled by default, not merit. Several leaders lack the vision, people management skills, or technical competence expected for their roles. Oracle-Centric Leadership Mindset: A significant portion of leadership comes from an Oracle background and tends to operate with a narrow, Oracle-first mindset. This limits innovation and ignores the value and expertise of professionals from other technology and business domains. Talented individuals from non-Oracle backgrounds often feel sidelined or undervalued. Selective Reward System: Increments and recognition are selectively awarded (again not so very often), leading to demotivation among high performers. Toxic Evaluation Culture: Leadership can be extremely judgmental, often attributing failures if any, solely to subordinates without taking accountability. Poor Engagement: There's a lack of transparent communication or engagement from leadership. Feedback is rarely welcomed or acted upon. No Culture of Openness: Constructive criticism or honest discussion is discouraged. Leadership is resistant to feedback, and dissenting opinions are often sidelined.

Pros

Can learn new skills on projects, if you take the self initiative. Decent bonus pay-outs - although always short of full target. Margin is going up (although revenue is going down and layoffs are going up)

Cons

Company says they value diversity, but is not diverse at all. Almost all US hiring is Indian. We are told to bring over "landed resources" from India, so that we can pay them 15% - 20% less than US workers. They really abuse the H1 Visa process. Management is very poor and most good leaders and resources have left the company over the years. In over a decade - received zero raise 6 times. When there are raises they are 1 - 2%. Multiple failed mergers and divestitures - Hitachi Consulting, Hitachi Data Systems, Hitachi Vantara, Hitachi Solutions, Hitachi Digital Services - and now Global Logic - which I am sure will be unsuccessful as well. When I started Hitachi Consulting was $500M in revenue. Currently Hitachi Digital Services is $500M in revenue. Literally zero growth in over a decade. Lay-offs every year. Stay away from this company, as obviously something is not working well.
