Business outlook
Pros
Good people. Positive work environment. Resources to support growth and professional development. Parent company, Hitachi, Ltd., is emphasizing shift from being a "Japanese company" to a global company which provides regional groups with autonomy to tailor strategy to local markets.
Cons
Trust and communication issues can be a concern with many managers from Japan on short rotation, but things are getting better. Lofty goals of innovation and synergy across departments, group companies, and industry sectors lack specifics or meaningful new projects for most.
