Hitachi Rail Reviews

Pros

Location of the office Location Location

Cons

They are proud of giving equal opportunity to men and women. Most women are in secretarial jobs and technical jobs are filled in by men. Japanese are the priority When they say there's opportunity for growth they mean you can grow from a receptionist to a secretary! There is no plan for training skilled workers.

Pros

The design of the trains are excellent and we offer an excellent end product to the customer

Cons

Lots of recent leadership changes have meant priorities keep changing and we are working in a very reactive environment which has got quite negative. There is a lack of clear and documented processes in a lot of areas. There often seems to be a conflict between the need to expand and deliver vs making financial savings.

Pros

Decent Pay package and benefits. Diverse and multicultural colleagues. Chances for progression/internal jobs availability to move up the grade.

Cons

Very disorganised and the budget and funding are not channelled at the right avenue, such as high quality training, tooling/equipment, diagnostic laptops etc. Nepotism which pretty much exists in most company, is sadly also present here. Very poor communication among different department. Dissemination of important technical and engineering information is difficult to obtain. Not much feeling of being appreciated and sometimes very mundane and repetitive task can demotivate. Higher management does not seem to care about the workers.

Pros

Good wages, tidy colleagues. Interesting job

Cons

Poor middle management. No structure. Many ongoing issues and discrepancies across the business
