Vantaggi

Working remotely, flexible schedule, many tools at your disposal, wide variety of projects.

Svantaggi

It’s concerning that Hitachi is promoting and investing in the Empower program - which is an extremely dysfunctional program with inept leadership. The leadership of Empower is grasping at straws to keep the product afloat and won’t think twice before throwing his team under the bus if it puts him in a positive light. Empower leadership doesn’t have any trust in the developers to do their work, leadership is extremely micromanaging and feels the need to “sign off” on minuscule details. Communication is nonexistent. Important team updates are only shared with a select few but most developers are in the dark about most things. There is not any form of team structure or job responsibilities. An Empower "scientist" is partaking in duties such as outlining interview guidelines, writing blogs, and trying to market nonexistent product features to internal and external stakeholders. Save yourself the headache and stay away from Empower.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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!
