Pros

None. Apparently you have to type 20 words in here to reach the minimum. I guess I learned what I don't want to ever have in a work environment.

Cons

Extremely high turnover, terrible management, mostly just a reseller of other companies' tools. Their own proprietary offering is uncompelling. They are trying to become a tech company but they are just a lackluster conferencing company. This company is driving themselves to the ground. I have never in my life seen so much turnover of talent. Upper management goes around firing people at random without performance improvement plans or any investment in helping their employees to succeed. Company lacks diversity in leadership. It is a bunch of power hungry egotistical men running the show without embracing any of the values they allegedly endorse. If you are looking for all of the benefits of working in technology - STAY AWAY FROM ARKADIN! I wish I had actually taken these Glassdoor reviews seriously before I accepted a position here. You can find a wonderful work life balance and an environment that promotes inclusion, diversity of thought and contribution at companies in the tech world that are NOT ARKADIN. Beware!

We are very sorry to hear that you had a less than positive impression of Arkadin.

We also offer employees many opportunities to grow, challenge, learn, and correct behavior before action is taken. We also strive to offer the best commercial grade collaboration solutions in the industry to our valued clients. We wish you success in the future.

Pros

I have worked with NTT DATA as a government IT and project management consultant since 2018, starting with Cognosante before the acquisition. My experience has been very positive. I have had the autonomy to focus on the success of my team and my client, while also having the support of a large, high-performing organization. There are real opportunities for growth, strong training resources, and leaders who genuinely care about employees, clients, and the communities they serve. I have also been promoted during my time here, which reflects the company’s commitment to recognizing and developing talent.

Cons

As with many large organizations, processes and systems and can sometimes take time to navigate, especially during periods of growth or transition. Continued focus on communication and simplifying internal processes would make the employee experience even stronger.

Pros

The company is rising the ranks as they are combining all of their internal business teams and processes as well as they are capable of.

Cons

You are a number. The family dedication of 'doing whatever it takes to get the job done' is gone, as new management has come in and made everything a calculation. They have slashed every US job they can, and if you're in the EU and your role can be sent to India, you are next. If your individual math doesn't add up for longer than 2 weeks, you'll be on your way out. If you are on vacation, you are also questioned about that math not adding up. Just added a bench process to get everyone infighting for roles they aren't appropriate for and dragging out their personal needs. A select few are exempt, even though the bench process isn't fully working or completely understood. Reporting structures are all in flux and everyone is 3 months into the year without identified goals or team reporting set for the year.
