Pros

Good people at the working level - although rapidly declining.

Cons

Company is in profit but not enough profit. Senior management attempting to fix this by flogging a dead horse and continually harassing staff to be more utilised when they can influence utilisation very little. Changed bonus plan mid year to disincentivize working on pre-sales or anything other than billing - Practice development is now worthless so expect less internal development, knowledge sharing and worsening opportunities. Senior management often send out unprofessional emails or make comments about politics as if it's someone ranting on facebook. All the best talent are leaving and getting significant pay increases on exit. Very few exciting opportunities or bleeding edge work - most people are working outside of the areas they want to work in tending to a single client that nobody wants to work with. Pay discrepancies are huge - If you state a low salary expectation on entry expect to be getting paid significantly less than some of your peers, it breeds a toxic atmosphere and has been promised to be fixed for years without avail. Salary increases are pitiful and below inflation many years in the running - despite even getting promotions many people were left with real terms salary decreases. Frequently you'll get the title with a token 1-2% salary increase. Senior management failed to make timely decisions in restructuring the business when a market ceased being productive, then didn't make a significant enough change so had to go again - in turn wiping out profits and bonuses. Practice leads in effect have little control over any working conditions, don't expect any of your concerns, issues or requests to be successful.

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!
