Nothing more pathetic than family and friends who get into a failing company and CANT get out ;)

I was so scared that it would take me forever to find a new job. I was very much wrong. Today, I landed a new position. It's better pay and similar benefits. I am overjoyed! I just wanted to let everybody know that being laid off is not the end of... —  read more 

What happened to the culture inspired by the Japanese Hitachi heritage? I don’t think GK or any of his direct reports could even give a 30 conversation on “Wa”, “Makoto”, or “Kaitakusha-seishin”.

Moving more h/c offshore as part of the GK transformation - curious at what point Ltd will step in begin cutting their losses. This slide began with Surak/Soni disaster and GK has not been able to stabilize the business since Sept 2019

How much is Gajen getting paid to be the captain on the Titanic? Will this end his career or will he fail upward?

I used to really enjoy my job here. Now, however, this is a mess in which the best leave and the laziest and least competent are the most valued. Everyone wants to get a better offer and leave here. Is there a any way to fix this mess? Does HV need... —  read more 

Outsourcing jobs. Leasing Santa Clara Hq (due to constant layoffs in California). An outdated product. Broken remains of management

Another colleague left. I just wonder what will happen to this company if it continues to watch the departure of the most competent ones without any interest in stopping them. Either the company doesn't know how to keep them, or it thinks it can do... —  read more

Heard new acquisition in the works. What’s next after Aspen Tek?

I am in contact with former colleagues who are now in other companies and I must admit, I am surprised how much more some of them are now paid than they were here. How much of a pay increase did you get after leaving HV? The only thing here... —  read more 

I don’t plan on staying here for more than a few more months. I started looking for new options for myself because I no longer have the opportunity to grow here. It will be interesting to watch from a distance how the HV will change in the future... —  read more

Be frank. Will you be here in 5 years?

The news just hit - manager leaked it accidentally. 20% wholesale RIF worldwide. No bonus pay (i.e. two weeks for each year worked). Instead - two weeks pay maximum. Also - no Cobra or outplacement services. Employees will be notified by EOW - with... —  read more 

If I was as unhappy at HV as some of you apparently are, I'd be long gone. No, this is not a perfect or even great place to work but for now, it's okay enough for me to stay. But when I read some of the posts it's obvious that people are miserable... —  read more 

Jack? (No) Brian? Gajen? The two other guys? lol

The time for Hitachi Vantara taking an unfare advantage of its employees needs to STOP! Working conditions here are at an all time high and we need a change. Let's welcome union orginizers and get higher / fair pay.

Management needs to let us do our jobs and stop meddling every step of the way. If they keep changing processes and shifting the goal constantly, we're both losing productivity and quality of the result. Decide what you want, decide how you want it... —  read more 

Is this the norm at HV?
