Bad leaders can destroy a great company!!

Pros

It used to be a great company with very strong leaders from Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco etc. They all were recently fired by shutting down Bellevue and Denver location in the name of some strange "restructuring of the portfolio" led by an Ex GE leader. The insight group was created to incubate Hitachi's IoT portfolio. The team worked super hard to get a leadership position in Gartner quadrant. All this good work was done before GE guys took over the company. Now the new leaders take credit in every public appearance, town halls and video messages!

Cons

The new leaders have not only got their style but also brought in their GE culture. They are making sure Hitachi gets a new style. There is no respect for people unless you come from GE or at least have GE in your resume. Your opinion has no value unless you have personally worked with one of these GE leaders. The body language, the arrogance, the intimidating walk-in the aisles and to the extent of lack of minimal courtesy for peers. This company may soon go down like GE went. These leaders will ensure the whole portfolio collapses. They have already fired all senior product leaders, the CTO, and entire engineering team based in Bellevue. They also keep laying off people every couple of months. Most laid-off employees got 2 months of Garden leave or nothing.

Very Dissatisfied

Pros

We once had plenty of positive things before. Now we do not have anything.

Cons

Our CEO has approval rating for Glassdoor of 22%. It is very generous. He has no experience to become CEO. He probably has to be a business analyst. All of HDS best leaders are removed. He is the only one remained. He became CEO. We hired several executives from many different companies. However nobody has a successful background. They do not understand Hitachi customers. They also generally do not know the competitors. It is not clear how their roles succeed.

Pros

-Interesting work, great people -Flexible Hours -Health Care -401K -Deferred Comp -Health Reimbursement Good basic package but the long-term growth and support of strong employees is lacking, thus the low ratings.

Cons

I'd likely still be working here but I felt there was no opportunity for growth both personally and economically. I left and saw a 35% pay increase (including stock and bonus)! Salaries are not assessed and kept within current market rates and opportunities for promotion within are greatly lacking. In addition, I find the Executives were not open to diversity and promoting within. The company is certainly aware of this due to lawsuits from previous employees (who often won). If you're offered a role here, be sure to negotiate up-front for strong compensation ( including bonus, deferred comp, flexible schedules, etc) because once you're hired, they'll be NO reviews, assessments or raises. 4 years and I never had a Performance review....even after requesting it!
