Pros

Good Benefits, good colleagues, and great individual contributors.

Cons

Lack of Vision and Strategy from Senior Leadership. Add to this the incompetence of middle management to execute on the poorly laid out strategy. Management is always in a "vacation" mode and their is no drive to succeed or lead the company to success. They lay low, do not communicate, do not appreciate ideas, provide no feedback, and are just feeding off of the parent Hitachi company. Answer to almost any big decision is mergers and acquisitions or some form of divestment (which are poorly executed as well). They will either fire you or make your job difficult and boring so you quit. Serious lack of feedback taken during exit, shows they do not care about employees or the company's future. All in all, the company is operating in a rut, waiting to just die out (making money only for the management in the process). If you wish to have decent, fun, exciting career, do not look here.

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.
