Pros

I can’t think of a single thing.

Cons

Sales teams and operations are completely out of sync. Sales teams pitch and sell contracts promising unrealistic metrics for the price and then operations is stuck between two tiers of leadership pushing for opposite things, hitting metrics or being cost efficient. HR is a total joke. Policies don’t change, but their interpretation does, with zero notice, so one day you’re paid for one thing and the next you’re not. There’s no number to call anyone so you get stuck in an email battle with HR reps that don’t read detailed descriptions and respond with absolutes without even understanding the problem. It takes 8 months and an exhausting amount of stress and frustrated escalations to management to sort out clear cut, simple pay issues even when you have all the proof in the world. Employee surveys are also useless as nobody ever follows up. Upper leadership loves to run the company as lean as humanly possible which results in everyone under them being overworked and severely underpaid for the work/roles they’re in. At the same time, they’ll spend money on some of the worst telephony and scheduling systems I’ve ever seen. You’ll be expected to provide 60 hour weekly support but only be paid for 40. For those in on-call roles, you’ll be expected to be on-call but HR will tell you that your position doesn’t qualify for on-call pay and you’ll be given the run around and never given a proper resolution. Self-respecting professionals, don’t touch NTT employment with a 10 foot pole. Shady business practices galore towards both their own employees and their clients. Truly disgusted and embarrassed to have this company on my resume.

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.
