Pros

I've really enjoyed my time at Hitachi Rail, I've been here for a few years now and have seen some big changes with management and the way the business is run but overall everything has been really positive. The people are great and my team have always been really supportive. I feel like I have grown a lot as a person and the working experience has been really interesting. I have loved visiting various locations across Japan and Italy recently and look forward to all the developments this year across the business!

Cons

I don't think there are many cons in my team or department - everyone is really supportive and fun to work with and we are working on some really exciting projects. The only con for me is decision making at times can be a little slow as now we are a huge company, where we used to be very small, but I think that's normal across most corporate companies perhaps?

Plenty of projects to keep you busy and interested.

Cons

The Pittsburgh office ran really well with Remote work, now they're becoming Big Brother.

Pros

Nice location near downtown and Southside. Half the building has a view of the river. Benefits are competitive (medical, dental, vision). Free garage parking across the street.

Cons

The employee perks have continuously declined over time. They used to have a nice catered Christmas party that disappeared during the pandemic and never returned. They used to have a common sense policy for meals while traveling, but that was just replaced with limits for each meal that are inadequate if you are traveling to a major city. They are also starting to track how many days each person comes to the office and seem to value that more than the results produced by each person. The company also does not reward people for going above and beyond, such as working significant overtime, working night shift at site, etc.
