Pros

Pros: Work from Home. Cons: Everything else. It’s wonderful—you get to experience the toxic politics, the sudden layoffs, and the "restructuring" of your entire life all without the hassle of a commute! It’s the only way to stay safe while they replace your department with contractors who cost twice as much.

Cons

​"Honestly, don't let the shiny onboarding and 'we're a family' talk fool you. I joined because they promised I could move around the company and grow, but within months, the mask fell off. It’s all politics. ​The wildest part? They laid off a bunch of rockstars—people actually doing the work—under the guise of 'restructuring,' only to turn around and ask them to come back as contractors. It’s a total lack of respect. HR is just there to back management, and those 'global ethics' they brag about in the US and Japan? They don't exist here. Just a heads-up: watch your back, because you’re only as safe as the next meeting behind closed doors."

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.
