Beware fake HR reviews

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Hitachi has made any other company I could possibly work for look world class.

Cons

The regular fake reviews added by HR designed to artificially bolster their derisory rating are disgraceful. The one on Nov 29th is the worst yet. So far from the truth that if it were a product they were selling and you bought one you would report them to trading standards and demand a refund. As one contributor said, “A more behind the curve outfit you will struggle to find”. Absolutely spot on. I haven’t witnessed such widespread incompetence like it in 25yrs.

Poorly managed company

Business Outlook

Pros

It's hard to find a pro for a company so poorly managed. Good shift pattern Nice uniform Reasonable pay rate Clean work place

Cons

No prospects for temp staff as colleagues on temp contracts are getting laid off. Company broadcasted it on TV weeks before telling the staff involved then got rid of loads in time for Christmas. Staff with poor records get contracts while good workers get binned due to poor staff management. Too many people spend all day hiding on trains doing nothing , unsupervised.
