Don’t Work Here!

Pros

The old HDS had good people and great work environment. I have been a FT employee here for several years and it was always great.

Cons

The last 2 years we wiped out all of the good management and brought in the bottom of the barrels who have a cost cutting number to reach and do not care about the people or how they are ruining the company. Also no raises in the past 10 years, no woman leaders, and no motivation. Hitachi Vantara is a horrible place to work.

Pros

Benefits package are above and beyond exceptional.

Cons

No one is buying the product. They claim they are a big data company and yet have very little big data sales. Less then 10% of sales are big data related and most of their sales are just renewals from past OEM customers. They compensate other divisions to add the software to line items of hardware and then the software doesn't get used or deployed. Sometimes the customers may not even know they have it. The moral of every Pentaho rep in in the gutter because they are over priced in a very crowded market and the only way to make commissions is to wait and hope that that hardware component secretly adds the software in your territory. Not even sure if the software works as they shy away from doing Proof of Concepts.

Pros

Impressive IOT & Digital Products

Cons

The absolutely worse place I've ever worked. Within the first week I was told that the company was dying as a storage company an needed to pivot to IOT and Big Data solutions to survive. Dell/EMC and Pure Storage are eating their lunch and no one is buying their IOT solutions. All of the good people have left and what's left are people who 1.) don't care and 2.) only manage up. They constantly blame the sales people for the company's results and deny the fact that they stopped innovating 5 years ago in the core storage products, and the market is too early for their IOT solution. Management in my region is a joke. Quota's are incredibly high for new employees and expectations are completely unrealistic. If you are a competent sales professional, don't work here. They have no idea how to run a sales organization, don't have a sales-focused organization, and you'll be wasting your talents at this company.
