Pros

Big company, many resources company car was ok (back in 2018 at least...) You will meet many new people and most are relatively young. Many starters.

Cons

Pay is bad, at least it was for me. I was underpayed for years without realizing it. And that's my fault as well for not acting on it. Management is busy with corporate things that don't impact you. It all comes down to the bottom line Sometimes you were "pimped out" to random clients with little or no warning the day before. And if it wasn't fixed or implemented the next day, it was your fault. Getting out of your "excel matrix skillset" was difficult. Especially because they split technologies in different teams and subsequently it was difficult to quickly dive into some technology because it didn't match with your teams function (aka, networking and security were different teams, datacenter was a different team, cloud didn't have a team yet at all when I was there...). Jumping across teams to try something else was... cumbersome. At some point, you will hit a wall and it's difficult to break through. I got the feeling they didn't know what to do with me exactly at times. I think much potential is wasted because management still thinks in IT they way they knew it 15 years ago.

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.
