NTT DATA reviews

People, silos, time to turn around items for clients, hostile work environment, internal competing companies, impossible to understand commission structure, company offerings and finding information. Good old boys network from legacy Dimension Data personnel. Company messaging is ideal but has zero room to follow what they breach and ZERO human compassion. Not many people are deemed “good enough” to be employed there and ridiculous amount of firing people. Internally NTT employees believe they are so great that their customers come second. It’s more about internal politics than client centric.

Where do I begin? 1. Lack of culture. I worked for NTT via acquisition, and there was no clear communication on culture. Our attrition level post-acquisition wasn’t just bad - it was abysmal. People left in droves. It was one of the worst acquisition experiences I think I possibly could have had. Our benefits constantly changed, our pay cycle changed at least 3 times in 2 years, and our bonuses became non-existent. 2. Pay gap and gender: I can speak to my personal experience here, as I found out that a colleague of the opposite gender made nearly $20k more than I did, and he reported to me. I pushed for a pay raise and received $3500. That’s a far cry from the $20k gap, and it felt like hush money. Industry wise, I knew I could push for a larger salary - something I had NEVER focused on before, because all I cared about before was being connected to my work and being happy - but the NTT culture was so bad that I changed my focus to money more. I felt completely under valued, in every sense of the term. The pay gap here is at least 20% lower than other consulting industry competitors. I was told what a great asset I was to the company, but wasn’t paid accordingly. 3. While on maternity leave, NTT attempted to dishonor the pay that was promised to me. I was promised 8 weeks of short term disability in writing prior to my leave, and 4 weeks into my leave was told I would only get 6 weeks. I spent hours and hours of my personal time (when I should have been focusing on my newborn) trying to resolve the issue, and fought to be paid what I was promised. I did not get paid what I was promised. I was offered additional “PTO days” to attempt to resolve my frustration with a lack of paycheck, and given a fraction of the remaining balance - it was absolutely absurd and unethical. I resigned soon after I received a fraction of the remaining payment. It didn’t matter if I had a new job or not - no one should be subjected to that treatment. I will never recommend working at NTT DATA to anyone I know. Yes, I still admire some of my coworkers who choose to work there, but I chose to leave because of a number of reasons. The way I was treated during my medical leave was absolutely wrong. No one - NO ONE - should be treated that way.
