After bringing in almost all-Indian management team.
With layoffs announced at FANG companies, is Vantara next?
With all of these announcements of massive layoffs this week it just a matter of time for Vantara to do its dirty work.
Rumors about layoffs are circulating
I hope it will remain rumors only. Maybe someone has a little more insight?
It is necessary to finally stop it
It is impossible to stop attrition but it is possible to slow it down at least a little. I thought that those at the top would finally do something to stop the negative trend of the most skilled people leaving the company, but no. What's the... — read more
Gajen on Top 25 Disruptors 2022??
It is so easy to become skeptical of rankings when you see a person or company included on a list like this - "he has helped turn the company into a leading global IT serĀvices... — read more
How much is Gajen getting paid?
How much is Gajen getting paid to be the captain on the Titanic? Will this end his career or will he fail upward?
Disappointed over what HV has turned into
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
Realistically going bankrupt.
Outsourcing jobs. Leasing Santa Clara Hq (due to constant layoffs in California). An outdated product. Broken remains of management
Does HW still need talented employees?
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
Career development
It appears that the only career development at Hitachi Vantara is resume writing 101.

Share your insights or updates with the community.
New acquisition coming?
Heard new acquisition in the works. What’s next after Aspen Tek?
I feel significantly underpaid
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
5-10 years from now
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
No interest in retaining skilled staff
This leadership team doesn't care about experience or knowledge, all they care about is how to get rid of more expensive employees and how to replace them with cheaper ones. Never mind that cheaper is not always actually cheaper, especially when you... — read more
ISP contracts have now all be canceled!!!
Susan is doing a great job destoying the Global Service Organization. All of the ISP contractors that were hired to make "our jobs more manageable" have now been fired! CS&S has now been asked to pick up the extra workload left behind. The wheels on... — read more
Talent development recognition
Someone who doesn't work here and sees this kind of news might think that HV is realy dedicated to investing in talent and/or fostering a culture of learning ---> https://www.td.org/press-release/72-organizations-win-prestigious-atd-best-award It... — read more
Next round of layoffs
Can we expect anything in May or June?
Who left in Santa Clara?
HQ has to be empty by now
Will you be here in 5 years?
Be frank. Will you be here in 5 years?
What are the chances this is true?
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
You do know you can leave, right?
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
Who was our worst CEO?
Jack? (No) Brian? Gajen? The two other guys? lol
Avoid getting comfortable
HW is simply not a company where it is a good idea to start feeling comfortable! I still haven’t heard any new rumors about layoffs, but I learned a lesson when my colleague got laid off for whom everyone thought was impossible to get laid off... — read more
Regret?
According to Harris Poll survey for USA Today, those who quit jobs during the Great Resignation regret the move, don't like their new position enough to stay or are searching for a new gig. Now for Hitachi Vantara poll survey: How many of... — read more
The end of fiscal year is approaching
As somebody mentioned previously, this is the time when we're most likely to learn about any major plans for the future, including layoffs. I think we can all agree that there'll be some cuts, that's at this point inevitable, but how big they'll be... — read more
Hitachi Vantara workers should UNIONIZE
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.
Lack of focus
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
Three managers in less than a year
Is this the norm at HV?
Just a quick question
Does anyone know when we might expect the next round of layoffs to happen?
Depressing place.
I'm starting to despise this company. People who were great to work with are no longer there. Everyone is very cautious, anxious and people prefer to work completely under the radar because this place is so toxic. I hope to get an offer soon... — read more
Welcome gifts for new hires
I have just noticed on linkdin that new hires in India are given gifts. I know for a fact it does not happen in the US sorry only India? Maybe because HV has become an Indian company? Makes you wonder if they give sh^t about employees in other... — read more
I'm only staying for severance
And I'm starting to wonder if even that is a good idea. From what I've heard, there is a real possibility it'll be significantly reduced for the next round of layoffs, although that's still in the realm of rumors. Until it's confirmed, I'll stay on... — read more
I want my life back
I think I'm done with prioritizing my job even if it means losing it in the end. This is just not humane anymore. I can't tell you for how many years I've been putting in the nights/weekends/hours because there was something that had to be done right... — read more
Be careful before you agree to be laid-off
I was fired (wrongfully). I refused to sign the papers until I had a chance to check them very carefully. If I had signed the papers, I would have given up every legal right I had in regard to that company, but the wording was so complex and used so... — read more
Susan's comment on the webex
Did anyone hear SM about how successful the move of level 1 support to Mexico was. She has people around her telling her what she wants to hear. The GSC support in MX is horrible. Wrong parts sent for replacement. Wrong action plans, not handling a... — read more
It's that usual time of year again - Any rumors of a RIF and/or yet another Re-org?
With product revenue looking so bad in the Americas this year and especially bad for this quarter, is anyone hearing any rumors of a RIF next quarter or any word on whether yet another re-org is coming for FY22? The 2 big initiatives for this year... — read more
