Pros

It is a good place to start a career in Consulting and learn a lot. Your fellow employees are solid. It is a "safer" consulting job. Great exposure to large, solid companies. Can learn alot from the SMEs at the company. Everyone is very helpful and goes out of their way to help if asked. Great downtown office location and amazing view.

Cons

Poor management structure on projects. Many times you feel like you are on an island and have no support system. Poor training opportunities. In many occaisions, you are not put in a situation to succeed. You have to fight to get staffed on projects you want to be on. Several of the lower level managers are not good at managing but solid in delivery. Politics protect poor performers. People get overstreteched by project work and are then asked to work on internal initiatives. The company comes off as "cheap" at many of their events and practices. The company struggles to hire solid experianced help and retain its stars.

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.
