Pros

Hitachi was a great place to start learning. You get a lot of freedom - maybe too much and ability to write your own path a bit. I loved the people I worked with and that was absolutely the best part - that being said make sure you "creating" your own path is the "right" path.

Cons

Otherwise you'll be let go. There have been rounds of layoffs since 2016 and it's been confirmed that another recent round 2019. The company is struggling financially and this "new vision" clearly isn't working. In order to meet operating income responsibilities to corporate Hitachi Consulting has resorted to taking the easy way out and firing people. Between layoffs and pay/budget freezes who knows anymore. It's not sustainable and not growing. Beware. Go find a consulting firm that is! There are plenty of them.

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.
