Pros

- Have multiple site locations and development centers. - Hitachi brand name has some weight in the market

Cons

The newly installed leadership is fairly disconnected with actual product development and most of the new product development leadership has been imported from GE digital (a sinking ship, seems like Hitachi Vantara is serving as a landing pad for all the executives who contributed to GE Digital's failure). With recent shift away from IoT by the company there does not seem any innovative initiatives are being taken up by the company. Just trying to stay afloat by selling existing products like Pentaho, content and storage. I fear the struggles with continue in the years to come despite the long and fruite transformation exercise the company recently went through.

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.
