Hitachi Vantara reviews

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.

For the past few years morale has dropped considerably due to: *Lack of recognition *Lack of respect amongst peers and from managers *Frequent restructuring *No direction with defined actionable goals *Reductions in staff that happen multiple times a year *Job advancement rarely occurs *No mentorship program or process in place to grow skills *Managers do not collaborate with teams; do not enable success for employees *Inconsistent policies for work life balance and benefits Observations during employment: *Restricted by sales skill set and education of current solutions and value; not enough focus on competitive analysis and being aligned with the marketplace *Solutions cannot complete with current tech and costs from competitors *Excessive praise and rewards for sales teams and corporate officers but no budget for advancement, promotion, or salaries for support teams *Teams waste efforts combating each other and processes instead of collaborating to be successful *"Improvements" lead to extra work instead of expediting sales cycle *Development teams for system changes do not involve or interact with appropriate departments to ensuring functionality is consistent or improved *Unnecessary and inconsistent restrictions on flexibility in work arrangements based on management bias *Not attracting current demographic of job seekers; misleading information of what job will entail and potential for career advancement *Skewed employee survey results; negative reviews are dismissed *Ineffective HR Representatives; concerns that direct managers dismiss are not addressed; no direction on resolution
