Pros

Remote working, truly some great people, rock solid storage product, ummm...

Cons

Stuck in the past, but can't get any traction, or can't figure out how to execute well enough. Management is a goat-rope. Reorg after reorg, rolling RIFs, over-reliance on outside 'consultants' with no 'skin in the game'. Shift to digital without clear direction. Waaaaayyy too beaurocratic, especially when Japan gets involved Morale at an all-time low, people have lost faith in the company. Needs strong leadership and direction. Management (both local and corporate) can be passive-aggressive leaving you confused as to what they actually want. Communication is not always a strong suit, with silos of information and internal product competition- a house divided.

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.
