Pros

Firm not too big nor too small; so one can hope to get noticed if perform well; Pay is comparable to big firms

Cons

Difficult to navigate the office politics and difficult to break into the network of ex-Navigator folks who are at the top echelons of the firm; ex-Navigator folks help each other out when it comes to career progression.

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.
