Pros

Some smart and nice individual contributors across the company. If you can get that next title level then it can be worth being here for 18 months knowing that you are already working towards your next job outside of Hitachi Vantara. Most people don't really care anymore so if you are decent at your job you can pretty much be on cruise control and have a really good work life balance.

Cons

The most dysfunctional exec team I've ever experienced. The carousel of CEOs hasn't helped and the current one GK is a joke. Leading from behind but a total blowhard at the same time. The CHRO is a complete empty suit and somehow makes things worse every time he talks about employees. The CPO is so out of her depth its embarrassing. Absolutely zero operating process and tools. Kind of amazing that the company is able to as much annual business despite itself.

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.
