Pros

I have been working at Hitachi Rail Europe for 3/4 months now and I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like it before! (positively speaking). I feel to be a HRE employee you need to be dynamic, flexible and innovative. I won't lie and say I came to the job possessing all these values at 100%.But over the course of time the experiences I have been exposed to areas of the business which has allowed me to develop these values. I would say another big pro of Hitachi Rail is the diversity within my team, I find myself connecting and networking with people I may not have usually in day-to-day life! Overall, my time so far at HRE has been great! (not without its ups and downs) - I have been able to grow myself professionally in a very short space of time . My advice however to all those looking to join Hitachi would be :Be prepared to get stuck in... ASAP! The HRE environment is extremely fast paced and requires you to be driven and to be able to implement and drive new processes... and never be afraid to ask!

Cons

On a personal level my main con would be the spacing issues! Hitachi Rail are growing at a very rapid speed and the demand for new employees is high! whilst great for the business its not so great for space...nonetheless our Facilities department are looking for new accommodation and are always looking of new ways to facilitate us!

Pros

Great manager, hybrid work, flexibly if you work hard, good benefits, lots of growth. The culture is fantastic.

Cons

Lot of restructuring, needs a directory of who manages what, titles are vague and don't reflect what you actually do but everyone is super nice.

Pros

People tend to help one another

Cons

Pay is terrible compared to industry standards, no bonus/stock option, and upper management has been micro-managing the department for over a year as of 2025.
