Pros

Amenable culture. Outside of one executive, you feel valued as an employee. Copious funding. An impressive repertoire of IP that could ostensibly be drawn upon to create world class products.

Cons

Lip service for years now regarding go-to market transformation, with no execution. Too many hires from legacy big box companies add to the bureaucratic gridlock. Though the company goes to great pains to appear forward thinking, there are seemingly no gurus who live and breathe on the bleeding edge to help guide us. It's very much a wait-and-see culture where the fear of failure seems to outweigh the necessity of risk taking.

Pros

Decent pay, average benefits, some autonomy to get things done

Cons

The entire leadership group that I was hired under was gone within 18 months and replaced but far worse examples. Micro-managing and then threatening corrective action plans as a means to force out those who they didn't like or earned too much. From a technology perspective, the storage products are average and inline with competition, but with far fewer reps in the field and no real marketing or inside sales to speak of, Hitachi Vantara is largely irrelevant in the Storage industry now.
