Pros

I have been working with Hitachi Solutions for last four years, form the time of its establishment in India and was one of the very 1st batch of employees with whom the company started its operations here. Hence it is obvious that I have a very special feeling for the organisation in my heart. But honestly, it is a true blue Japanese company with very deep technological inclination it has and high level of work ethics it maintains. Here are my personal reasons why I would recommend Hitachi Solution to work with: 1. Very transparent work culture and rich with values 2. Top management of the organization is very open to every levels of the employees, recognizes as well as appreciates every employees’ contribution 3. An excellent mid-level management to carry forward the company’s legacy 4. The organization as a whole emphasises more on team work, share its success among all and provides exceptional opportunities to grow professionally 5. The company also ensures the learning curve of its employee are always high by providing effective training and international exposures 6. The process of ‘Award and Recognition’ is one of the most transparent and appreciated initiatives 7. Every single operational and business activities are process oriented 8. The organization has achieved a very high growth in last 4 years, ventured into different technologies and created awesome teams across its locations. 9. Employee remunerations and benefits are well taken care of 10. Most importantly, (from my own experience) during any bad time of an employee, the management, both the top & mid, are very supportive and inspiring In my entire career of 8+ years (with prior experience from the Big 5 of the Indian IT industry) this is the best organization that I am working with. This is AN EXTENDED FAMILY to me :)

Pros

Having worked in the organization for more than 3 years, and with prior experience from the Big 5 of the Indian IT industry, I must concur that Hitachi has created a different niche for itself in terms of employee engagement and interaction. The organization has created a differentiation on 3 major levels to ensure the quality and brand, which are 1. Employee engagement & Expression Freedom, 2. Cultural Differentiation 3. Management Principles Employee engagement & Expression Freedom: The one major area where we can gauge the Employee First principles of an organization is in the way resource voices are being heard while they are deployed in project. I have seen, employees having a huge say in terms of project engagement and deployment and on frequent occasions, resources have expressed their desire to be not part of one project or another and the demand have been respectfully considered. Movement, across projects and departments have been also very fast – something which took months in Indian IT companies. Onsite opportunities are available and without much of queue. Cultural Differentiation: While there had been blatant following up, of US culture and strict mechanistic code of conduct in the Indian IT sector, it is a relief to see a flexible culture in Hitachi having selective Japanese influence of ethics and appreciation of others’ time. Off-course, the Indianness is there, but it is more on the lines of flexibility on office hours as well as ease to work from home. No dress code is an added advantage!  Management Principles: I believe, this had been crucial for the above two parameters. A big reason for employee dissatisfaction we have seen in this sector is due to inflexible and inefficient middle management creating a hurdle to reach to the senior management – which generally are sensitive to the concerns, at least as per my experience. Here, the middle tier being slim, creates a lot of flexibility and sensitivity. The senior management also follows an ‘Open-Door’ policy, which is actually being followed! The top-down culture had been a reason why employee suggestions had been incorporated within month, at times and then there are frequent town-halls in all the locations where the senior management interacts directly with employees Overall, and simply put, the organization is consciously working on to be a unicorn in the industry, from both technological innovation (India has a Center of Excellence, part of global CoE) as well as from employee engagement perspective. Recommended for a long-term career growth and opportunities

Pros

I have been working for more than an year and to define work culture here in one word its “Awesome”. It is among one of the few companies driven by both values and target at the same time. Values that make sure you become a part of one big Hitachi family and targets to make sure your personal growth & learning goes in tandem There is celebration for everything whether its bringing in new project or successful implementation of the existing projects. These Parties/official lunches helps to know each other better. B)The organization structure is quite horizontal where work & growth is defined by ability to deliver rather than a defined Hierarchal growth path . D)Most roles allow for some overseas travel opportunities. I went to a business trip. I followed all the guidelines for daily allowances (which is pretty generous) and wasn't asked a single question about it. E)Other perks that are provided to the employees are office cab, evening snacks,TT facility,TV etc
