Pros

Direct access to leadership. Can easily talk to senior management and vice presidents in your region. You won't feel intimidated talking to them - and being a smaller company, they usually know who you are, know about the type of work you do, and have heard of you. The people here are great - being a consulting company, there are people of all ages so there are always people your age to communicate with and grow together with. The company also tries to promote a fun culture by having quarterly meetings, lots of happy hours, and annual picnics. This gives everyone a chance to get together since people are usually spread out at different clients and don't see each other often.

Cons

The promotion criteria is based partly on the time spent at a level rather being solely on the skill, knowledge, and performance of the individual. I know this seems to be the case at most larger corporations, but still feel that this is a bit unfair since some people are quick learners and progress faster than others. The salary is lower in comparison to both jobs in industry and at other consulting firms. The company tries to make up for this by promoting their fun culture (which is true that we try to have fun), but I don't think it's enough to make up for it.

Pros

Decent pay, average benefits, some autonomy to get things done

Cons

The entire leadership group that I was hired under was gone within 18 months and replaced but far worse examples. Micro-managing and then threatening corrective action plans as a means to force out those who they didn't like or earned too much. From a technology perspective, the storage products are average and inline with competition, but with far fewer reps in the field and no real marketing or inside sales to speak of, Hitachi Vantara is largely irrelevant in the Storage industry now.
