Pros

Hitachi is in the process of growing into a billion dollar per year firm which would make it a solid mid size consulting firm. High turnover provides opportunities.

Cons

Hitachi offers low pay and benefits and there seems to be a lack of respect by upper management towards implementation consultants. The bonus program is subjective and nearly unreachable.
