Very Dissatisfied

Pros

We once had plenty of positive things before. Now we do not have anything.

Cons

Our CEO has approval rating for Glassdoor of 22%. It is very generous. He has no experience to become CEO. He probably has to be a business analyst. All of HDS best leaders are removed. He is the only one remained. He became CEO. We hired several executives from many different companies. However nobody has a successful background. They do not understand Hitachi customers. They also generally do not know the competitors. It is not clear how their roles succeed.

Pros

-Interesting work, great people -Flexible Hours -Health Care -401K -Deferred Comp -Health Reimbursement Good basic package but the long-term growth and support of strong employees is lacking, thus the low ratings.

Cons

I'd likely still be working here but I felt there was no opportunity for growth both personally and economically. I left and saw a 35% pay increase (including stock and bonus)! Salaries are not assessed and kept within current market rates and opportunities for promotion within are greatly lacking. In addition, I find the Executives were not open to diversity and promoting within. The company is certainly aware of this due to lawsuits from previous employees (who often won). If you're offered a role here, be sure to negotiate up-front for strong compensation ( including bonus, deferred comp, flexible schedules, etc) because once you're hired, they'll be NO reviews, assessments or raises. 4 years and I never had a Performance review....even after requesting it!

Lack of clear strategy leaves employees wondering and leaving

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.
