Pros

They have some passionate, fun, and smart people. The 401k matching is good.

Cons

Hitachi hires a lot of college students with a really low paying contract, often times in a quality position and you have to "earn" your keep to be in a position you want to be in (even if you do well, you still won't move). Since there are too many young people, you won't benefit from working with seasoned engineers. More of the experienced and talented engineers leave after a couple of years. They don't really care about personal growth, people don't move around, especially in the Anywhere product. Management doesn't care about mentoring or learning new technologies or hearing about the opinions of their employees. What is important is bandaging mistakes and aging infrastructure to satisfy the customers. The whole tech stack is from 2014, which is is not great for the marketability of engineers. There's little incentive to stay, they pay below the average for engineers and don't account for cost of living raise.

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.
