Pros

Flexible working hours, new technology stack to work, Good salary Work from home option is there

Cons

No work life balance. Too much of work, that you don’t have weekends for yourself. good work goes to who is good with management. As the management got tons of laid off people from his old company. He is always biased to his old employees. He listens to them and switches off others. Too much micromanaging, back talking, be sweet with you and talk at your back. Keep asking how is your work from others, behind your back. They start with negative impressions which will never turn positive. They compare 5 year experienced person with 15 years experienced person coz this 15 yrs experience person is his old employee. The perception changes based on what that one wrong guy is telling the management good things goes waste. Also the management tries to prove that they are right and his manager is wrong. This is quite funny he blames cto and the VP behind their back with us. And once they are here this management is behind them doing what they say with reverence.

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.
