Pros

Colleagues are very helpful and collaborative. The core software products are large and complex applications so it can take years to get a good understanding of it's design and capabilities. So it's very helpful that you can reach out to many different people who are willing to share their knowledge about the system.

Cons

The flip side of the coin is that the software is a legacy product and most work centers on configuring existing capabilities or adding enhancements that allow it to meet customer needs. This generally means working within limits of the product - you will generally not see a lot of new innovative technology.

Pros

They look friendly - Once a month each division host a free morning tea

Cons

There is a saying "Fish starts to stink from head" - while Hitachi start to stink from Human resource team. 1) there is no maternity leave in place for entire Hitachi Rail Australia 2) Clear instruction from some Hiring Managers NOT to hire females 3) Politics.. Yep you will be involved in a few - there is no winning in this game. 4) People who worked in HR for years change roles and get paid but are not working or benefiting a company. Their primary function is to be there and protect their spot in the chain. 5) People resignation rates are higher than the recruiter is able to fill.
