Pros
Hitachi Vantara are very ambitiously trying to turn the hardware business into data driven and data analytics business and are doing a huge *marketing* investment to make that happen.
Cons
HR and payroll handling is a disaster since HDS+PEntaho turned into Hitachi Vantara end of 2017. Coming from the the smaller company that got integrated into Vantara (and living in a country where they have a smaller presence), I had to live for 6 months without salary simply because the company couldn't get the admin right. Unfortunately I wasn't an exception. Several other colleagues had months of delays in payments too. Threats to leave (up to Vice President level) finally made some payments come through. Obviously, I eventually left the company (days ago). I'm still chasing 3 months of salary which I start to doubt I'll ever see. In all of my career, and after over 7 years with the company, an absurt and totally Kafkian experience. I cannot understand how they can even keep staff if they treat their people with so little respect.
