Hitachi Review by Senior Accountant in Brisbane, CA on
What do you like about working at Hitachi?
The company is VERY cutting edge! They're big on research & development, they do pay well (although the bennies are only average), and they do reward loyalty (but to be 'rewarded' you gotta pay your dues, and that involves long hours, commitment, & never, ever speaking out or voicing an opinion!
What don't you like about working at Hitachi?
Obviously the culture! They expect AND demand 110% devotion to Hitachi & to your job, forget about having a family life! (honestly!, the men there must have a divorce rate of 90%!), and the way they look down on women & blacks.
What suggestions do you have for management?
Don't be afraid of diversity! Allow your employees to have family lives! Don't expect or demand that! - every employee embrace Hitachi's personal & professional values, work & lifestyles, and personal & professional 'priorities'. And be more tolerant of other, even non-conformist, lifestyles, viewpoints & values.

I liked being independent as well as, learning all there was to know about MRI systems. I really enjoy installations and maintenance. Trouble shooting was challenging due to prior installations from previous engineers.

The politics of the company were terrible. I got along with a few of my peers however upper management was very biased and opinionated. There were some poor management decisions which I did not agree with.l
What suggestions do you have for management?
Take the advice or suggestions from field engineers as well as customers. Do not think that your decisions are the BEST and the most accurate. Be open minded to others suggestions and peer input.
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
If you can handle the bureaucracy within the company, go for it! It is a great starting position for a field service engineer. Do no plan on moving up the ladder to quickly if at all. If you like to work with you hands and like to trouble shoot, then this job is perfect for you!
