Pros

Hitachi Vantara is uniquely positioned to be a leader in delivering the edge-to-cloud IoT pipeline by drawing on it's software assets and the ability to work with other Hitachi divisions.

Cons

Poor sales culture inherited from Hitachi Data Systems is all about discounting hardware and lacks the willingness sell solutions. From management to sales operations are all wedded to old business practices and processes. Unfriendly & unwelcoming culture, based on account managers guarding territories and appeasing their cash-cow re-sellers, than collaborating with sales specialists to sell solutions and growing the business. Senior management lack the ability to articulate or execute their vision.

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.
