      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Many talented and skillful researchers - Good work and life balance - Mutual respect culture, managers listen to team member's opinions carefully - Have a chance to engage in very large-scale research projects

      Cons

      - Limited interaction with other departments. - Salary is not good enough for distinguished researchers - Research topics are too fragmented and complex. cannot feel that we are doing research toward a common goal. - The concept of some Hitachi business is obscure (e.g. Most does not understand what is Lumada), and the company does not grow dramatically based on conservative culture

      HORRIBLE

      Machine operator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Met great people....that's it that's all.

      Cons

      Management is horrible, the amount of days they want you to work is horrible! You're supposed to be able to talk to management about situations at work....NOT! Once you tell them what's bothering you or who's bothering you, they go and tell the exact person what you've said. Management really needs to be replaced

      Desire to Innovate, but Stuck in Old World Modes

      New business director

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Deep commitment to societal improvement: climate, energy, civic life and agriculture - Talented business development and engineering team members worldwide - Culture of strong collaboration, across divisions and gets

      Cons

      - Senior management lacks leadership skills on developing, communicating a strategic operating plan to team members. - Senior management's success measurements of long-established slow growth business units entirely misaligned with fostering incubation startups for new innovation and growth opportunities, over multiple years: near-term sales $ vs. new customer betas for building out new 1.0 solutions. Very tough for team morale and employee satisfaction.
