Pros

- Brand new HQ office coming next year that is nicer - Decent work-life balance

Cons

- Things were good (there were some issues sure) until Brad Surak was hired as CPSO and then everything went bad. - There was a long period of time when most teams had no idea what to do and were waiting for direction from management which came too late and was inadequate - Brad bought loads of people from GE Digital who have destroyed the strong culture there was. They just want to do things the way they did at GE Digital. - The IoT strategy they have has had 0 traction in the market, done by the same consultants who helped with GE digital strategy - Compensation is much below market rates and don't ever expect a hike

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.
