Pros

1. Flexibility to work from home 2. Unlimited PTO 3. Rich benefits and perks 4. Beautiful global offices

Cons

1. Executives lack of leadership and consistency 2. Executives have blurry vision for the company. 3. Executives compete with each other - there is no true north. 4. Extremely bureaucratic and hierarchical - especially within HR 5. Burdensome processes to get things moving 6. Lack of willpower to truly transform 7. The merger of HCC with HV was the biggest mistake ever. Poor integration (or should I say non-existent?) 8. Years without any merit increases. No executives or Finance know how to bake this into their budget annual planning process?? 9. Controlled heavily by the Japanese parent company

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.
