Terrific company with interesting projects

Pros

Interesting work, great culture, nice people. Nice work-life balance, exposure to different challenges, constantly growing into new product areas. It is a high tech company without a software emphasis; real products are made. The name Hitachi may not have resonance in the marketplace, but it makes a lot of products for other big name companies, like GE, Ford, and others.

Cons

Not a good fit for people who crave a very large organization.

Pros

It was a job, with great lower level people and great insurance. The retirement plan for the United States was a joke since the pay never changed.

Cons

Mgt was out of touch and if you were not from Japan, you had no say in anything. HR turned there head to Japanese actions in the United States. 3-5 year mgt assignments, meant you would have new leadership in a few years, usually worse than previous mgt. No long term goals. Working for today to make today's numbers look good since the mgt assignments were so short term. Probably the reason the facility shut down.
