Pros

Mostly in-town work, good people at the local level all the way up to the senior local leadership, stable office, some interesting work

Cons

Large consulting firm politics without the upside of a large consulting firm name, second tier player, previously had lower pay than other comparable (and sometimes better) firms, pyramid structure out of whack, hard to advance beyond manager for most as the room at the top is dictated not by performance but by space available first, salary bands are all over the place

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.
