Pros

As many have said, the culture and people are fantastic. This is an enjoyable, respectful environment where diversity is genuinely valued.

Cons

Hitachi Vantara is in a tremendous, albeit clumsy, transition. The recent re-branding from Hitachi Data Systems to Hitachi Vantara has left employees, partners and (most importantly) customers confused and wondering what solutions we are building and bringing to market. Current storage and compute lines have been stagnant for over a year while IoT and analytics solutions are not evolving fast enough. While newer executive hires in sales are encouraging, product strategy executives (brought in from GE) have produced little more than vision statements in 6 months. There is nothing for employees to rally behind and are constantly told that "it's coming". The good employees are leaving which is adding to morale issues.

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.
