Pros

Jack Domme, who runs HDS as well as two other Hitachi subsidiaries, also and an executive officer position with the parent company. His management style gets the most out of the people who work closely with him. Each person gets a piece of the puzzle from Jack, and they have to collaborate to assemble the bigger picture. The resulting picture is always far more nuanced than what Jack had initially. The company is highly ethical, in its business dealings and dealings with employees.

Cons

Like any company in high tech, it can be a very demanding place to work. Under previous regimes, the work/life balance picture skewed people towards burnout.

Pros

Really the 401k was nice...nice employees..but only the management and supervisors were pretty much not caring individuals.

Cons

When it was yime to.move up ..they would hire someone off the streets instead of hiring who's worked for it within the plant.
