Pros

Benefits are good and some of the people you work with are great. The technology you get to work with is usually cutting edge or better. On the whole, the company is willing to invest in training employees so that they can stay up to date with the most current technology.

Cons

Management mainly seems to care about getting more power, covering their tails, and placing the blame. There is very little communication between areas and most of that is between the lower levels trying to share needed information without getting caught. HR is run by an engineer with very little care or understanding of human needs. Complaints are greeted with "at least you have a job"

Pros

The working environment at Hitachi Asia Ltd is very pleasant - people are genuinely friendly, and there is minimal office politics. The company is also generous with training opportunities and believes in making investments to groom its talents. The company also displays strong values of caring for the social community.

Cons

The compensation package at Hitachi Asia Ltd is considerably low, compared to similar positions in the market. There is also a lack of management transparency and communication is not done very effectively. Talents are also discouraged by the career progression ceiling as top management is mostly japanese
