Pros

Work Life Balance (mostly because the company is made up of mediocre performers and does not care to drive results and motivate employees. Therefore it's easy for Employees leave in the middle of the day, fake work from home, etc.

Cons

The people at this company are so outdated and they are ageist unless you are a 40+ white man. I was a high performing millennial, constantly getting pats on the back and "you're doing such a great job", but it never translated to a promotion or increase. When I asked for an increase that was inline with the level of work I was doing, HR told me I couldn't get a raise because it wasn't in the same band as others in my age group. First of all, it's unethical to discriminate me by how old I look. Second, doesn't matter how old I am. If I am doing a certain level of work, its a fair expectation to be compensated as such. I knew people "older" than me, doing the exact same work, getting paid $30-50K more.

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.
