Pros

- They pay well. - Probably good for people who want to be in pre-sales, as opposed to a technical role - A great place if you want to master or improve your commercialese

Cons

- An excessive amount of petty politics and constant bickering goes on which prevents people from doing their actual job. - For a company apparently specializing in security, they really don't know a lot about it and definitely do not practice what they preach. - They offer "end-to-end" security solutions and have their fingers in every area of security. This is explained to customers as an advantage to other security consultancies but in none of these areas are they considered experts. - If you are passionate and care about IT security, this is definitely not the company to work for. You will be forced to work under the sales team and upsell solutions to customers based on what they can make the most profit from and not what the customer really needs. - There is a constant stream of corporate jargon and extreme bureaucracy coming from the senior management. This does exist in every organization, but seems to be much worse here. - Constant changes in management and reporting lines. - Salary payments and expenses were often paid late. - Training and career development is non-existent.

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.
