Pros

- Hitachi is a solid company and in the storage part people worked there for years - Salary is ok - Good colleagues - The upper management is clever and focused

Cons

- Pentaho part is nearly dead - The EMEA Central guy of Pentaho has now clue what he is doing. People left because of him - Totally unstructured as lot of people left the company and the Hitachi people are lost with the wrong strategy - Absolutely no support. Before I left the hired a new guy and he just wants to leave after a couple of month - because of his manager... - Former colleagues told me that every week important people leave the company

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.
