Pros

Hitachi Vantara are very ambitiously trying to turn the hardware business into data driven and data analytics business and are doing a huge *marketing* investment to make that happen.

Cons

HR and payroll handling is a disaster since HDS+PEntaho turned into Hitachi Vantara end of 2017. Coming from the the smaller company that got integrated into Vantara (and living in a country where they have a smaller presence), I had to live for 6 months without salary simply because the company couldn't get the admin right. Unfortunately I wasn't an exception. Several other colleagues had months of delays in payments too. Threats to leave (up to Vice President level) finally made some payments come through. Obviously, I eventually left the company (days ago). I'm still chasing 3 months of salary which I start to doubt I'll ever see. In all of my career, and after over 7 years with the company, an absurt and totally Kafkian experience. I cannot understand how they can even keep staff if they treat their people with so little respect.

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.
