      Pros

      Really positive approach to work. Manager's are always trying to incentivise employees rather than only pick negatives. New ideas to processes are encouraged.

      Cons

      Due to it being a new start up, still an attitude of too scared to challenge the way things works, people sometimes do as they're told rather than question why do we do it this way? Could it be better? How could it be better?

      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

      very friendly people who are supportive and tend to be a give give culture. several opportunities abroad in particularly in japan, but more on a business trip bases than a permanent one rapidly growing company in the rail industry

      Cons

      come in with a good salary negotiated because it will be hard to renegotiate once in. many new recruits means that structure is unclear

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is good to hear you are you are having great experience at Hitachi Rail Europe. Due to the rapid growth of our company, at times, we need to adapt our structure to accommodate changes to the demands in resources. Our salaries are reviewed on a continuous basis to ensure that they’re competitive with current market values and are subject to annual review in line with inflation.
