Pros

NTT DATA is enormous so take this with a grain of salt (This review is for Launch by NTT Data) - other sister companies might be different. Great project, great life. That's been the case for 2/3 projects I've been on. Lots of new things to learn on each project which is great for growth, although they tend to silo roles more than before. Unlimited PTO policy if you're grade 8 or above.

Cons

Negotiate salary hard upfront. Raises are scarce, low, and delayed. Usually have to wait 3 - 9 months to get your earned raise. This is likely NTT Data as a whole. Layoffs common at Launch. They are cutting great talent using the metric of 'billable' or 'un-billable' instead of rolling off the Bs and Cs to keep the As. Madness! The company struggles to acquire new business and has turned to bidding on price instead of value, so you'll likely be training your replacements at some point. Project/Client quality also taking a hit due to this approach.

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.
