Pros

Good benefits and 401k. People used to trust their management as integrity was an important part of the culture.

Cons

A lot of politics. Too much politics for a company of that size (this is not the big Hitachi mother ship). Investments are considered a bad thing even if the ROI is guaranteed. Too much focus on keeping costs down instead of investing in the right areas. Pay raise for individual contributors comes every 3 to 4 years at best.

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.
