Pros

Impressive IOT & Digital Products

Cons

The absolutely worse place I've ever worked. Within the first week I was told that the company was dying as a storage company an needed to pivot to IOT and Big Data solutions to survive. Dell/EMC and Pure Storage are eating their lunch and no one is buying their IOT solutions. All of the good people have left and what's left are people who 1.) don't care and 2.) only manage up. They constantly blame the sales people for the company's results and deny the fact that they stopped innovating 5 years ago in the core storage products, and the market is too early for their IOT solution. Management in my region is a joke. Quota's are incredibly high for new employees and expectations are completely unrealistic. If you are a competent sales professional, don't work here. They have no idea how to run a sales organization, don't have a sales-focused organization, and you'll be wasting your talents at this company.

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.
