Pros

You get to travel around the city meeting new people (both clients/teams), pay is better than normal full-times because you're a semi-consultant, although it can't compare to an actual consultant salary.

Cons

Managers tend to throw you in the fire no matter what technology you're interested in, and they oversell you to the client when you have no knowledge or prior experience of a certain technology stack by asking you to complete an online certification course in 1-2 weeks. Certifications are really not that difficult, but it becomes a problem when clients expect expert knowledge from you when all you have is what you learned during the couple of weeks. You also don't have much of a choice what project you get assigned to, and team/client you're working with can be a hit and miss.

Pros

Great culture... I got to work with a number of people that I have worked with in the past at another Hitachi company and thoroughly enjoyed the teams/practices I supported - great people. The company and leadership walk the talk as it relates the "care and feeding" of their employees around mental health, work life balance, diverse representation with multiple Employee Resource Groups, visibility in communication, etc.

Cons

Unfortunately, when I started at Hitachi Solutions in December of 2022 it was right before the massive layoffs in tech companies in the US which continued into 2024. Initially there was some concern I believe about amount of communication related to the "state of the union" so to speak (because everyone was spinning at this point) but the company leadership pivoted quickly to engage with all employees on a monthly basis providing the opportunity for any and all questions from all employees. In the end I was caught up in a recent lay off, which was tough for me as it's never happened to me before, but I get it... it's business/not personal. Maybe a 3rd time at Hitachi will be the charm... ya never know!

Pros

Flexible work schedule; remote employment

Cons

Lots of layoffs - very unstable job security; poor leadership drove a very stable company almost into the ground
