In case I wasn't clear, this is the most toxic place I've ever had the displeasure of working at. Stay away if you're smart.

Who would come to work here now? I don’t know under what circumstances would anyone talented and ambitious be encouraged to apply to HV. Perhaps they could attract those who have no other option and bring them in for a very short time. So I think... — read more

Just stopped by this forum to check if there are any new rumors and I saw that someone mentioned trying to retool HV into the cloud. Many think that these attempts are failing. I wonder why?

I worked for a company where it happened all the time. That's the main reason why I left there, but it seems to happening here as well. How many times have you seen a manager assign a very serious and responsible task to employees who are not up... — read more 

Despite everything, there are still quite a few talented people here. Unfortunately, they are stagnant here and it is only a matter of time when they will also give notice and leave. It is a pity that HV is not doing anything to keep anyone, or at... — read more 

The new chairman Keiji Kojima is a very technical guy with hands on knowledge of technology. I'm sure he won't tolerate management bull sh-t around him. GKs days are numbered in my view. This is also clear from today's announcements of new products... — read more

I left HV four months ago and honestly, what I have now is not a particularly good job either. This is my personal experience, I have not had much luck, although many have and are now in companies that are much better than HV. Yesterday, I was... — read more

At what age is a prospective candidate considered “too old” to hire in this industry? I may not be right, but it seems to me that this age ceiling is falling more and more. Companies seem to want younger and younger candidates. Young people do not... — read more 

Someone has already mentioned a very important thing: It takes DAYS to do anything now. How do you think the increased outsourcing of jobs will affect this company in the end? I do not underestimate the people who work for less money, but I still... — read more 

When an employee’s performance is consistently good, it becomes expected and may unknowingly be taken for granted. I have seen people in leadership positions manipulate high-performing employees to produce more, take on the burden of others. Yet... — read more 

Is good teamwork something that is slowly disappearing from HW??? It seems to me that teams are becoming more and more dysfunctional here. In my current team some individuals try to dominate the group in all possible ways and they are a big drain on... — read more 

Are you mostly bored at work too? It's high time I got out of here. I have worked at several companies in this industry, but the job here is definitely the most boring. HW is definitely not a place for someone who wants to build their career but for... — read more 

Just curious if anyone has an opinion about the new Aussie HV president?

In April, 4 million Americans quit their jobs, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. That's 2.8%, the highest quit rate in the 21 years such data has been collected. The rates in May and June weren't far behind: 3.6 million (2.5%) and 3.9... — read more 

When did the HV leadership and managers lose their sense of business and work ethic? I don’t remember the times when there were less of both in this company.

For myself, the same as some Technical Consultants: we were in GSS, then moved to GD, to Managed Services in the past few years at HV. I think MS team maybe is still quite stable compare to other team in North America (as long as customer keep... — read more 

A colleague who was a great person and a great employee got a promotion and I was really very happy for him. Very soon after that he changed so it is no longer the same person. It’s a bit ridiculous to watch it all. Perhaps the promotion makes it so... — read more

Most people I know have gotten into this industry through family/friends or lied about it. Those who have not (which is rare) are struggling and will likely always be cogs. Is this what tech is now

I worked through this pandemic and did some dangerous business travel for this thankless company. How about acknowledging what we did for the company’s bottom line instead of spending money on useless executives.

I used to have a manager like that here. He always empowered people to succeed and do what they do well. Are there any more such managers left here? I wish there was, but it seems to me more and more that they no longer motivate, inspire or... — read more

The rise in COVID-19 cases, EC meeting decided to delay bringing employees back into the office till January 2022. Employee continue to work remotely and enjoy spending time with family.

Here’s a thought. I saw news report about a growing number of people are just saying I quit to their employer. Could this be transcending over at Hitachi Vantara and nobody realizes it except for maybe C level execs and HR?

is there anyone left in California at our HQ or did we outsource all your jobs
