Pros

No pressure or competition, at least on the lower-level Lots of freedom to choose your technology, plenty of opportunities to grow and learn new things Friendly, helpful people

Cons

Politics on the upper-level can makes things rocky. Expect projects and teams to be moved around or shut down with little or vague explanations. This will vary with the leadership, but Hitachi Vantara cycles through those pretty fast, so don't expect smooth sailing if your manager suddenly have to "step down". On the bright side, their severance package is quite generous.

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.
