Pros

Some colleagues at NTT were wonderful, immensely talented and great people to be around.

Cons

NTT is, overall, a company that puts profits above people. Wages are lower than other equivalent global technology organisations, and there is very little career development opportunity offered. You have to fight for HR to even benchmark your role. There has been a mass exodus at NTT in recent months, with many colleagues either being forced out of their jobs, retrenched or feeling they had no option but to find another role. NTT have replaced senior female teams members with men, meaning the senior leadership is now comprised of men over the age of 50 who previously worked together at other companies. No women, little to no diversity, and no younger executives. Women are told repeatedly by HR that their complaints cannot be upheld - despite emails and other written proof being offered. Promotions are offered before they are approved by HR, and then removed months into working in the role. There were complaints made by several members of my team to HR regarding a bullying manager, but nothing was ever done. I found a new job and left. In the last few weeks, several other team members have left. The atmosphere is toxic.

A caustic culture devalues great intent ...

Pros

Company has a sound direction and is trying to change for the betterment of customers, society, staff and stockholders. The direction and (high-level) strategy is great and makes sense.

Cons

Change is blocked. Old behaviours of: cronyism, politics, systemic discrimination and inept management has been inherited and tolerated from some of the acquired businesses that now constitute NTT Ltd. Only the name & logo has changed.

Thank you for raising your points, as you are an existing employee I urge you to confidentially speak directly with HR or a senior manager that you trust. Your points are not consistent with the general feedback received so we are very keen to understand more about your specific concerns.

Pros

It was nice working with some of the smartest but badly utilised people in the industry. During the NTT Security period, the direction was generally positive as there was investment, expansion and good morale. This all changed with the merger into NTT Ltd and a change of management.

Cons

Compensation is below real market value. Lack of training - managers like to play favourites with individuals who get vendor training, the rest get nothing. No company culture - office is dead and full of people waiting for redundancies or just doing their jobs purely for the sake of paying their mortgages off. Local SOC manager makes North Korean leadership seem extremely kind. Management's attitude during COVID-19 - "be grateful you have a job". NTT Ltd. management may have been adequate for a medium-sized company in South Africa but is now vainglorious, self-serving and their management skills are woefully inadequate for a Fortune 500 company. Internal IT teams do the best with what they can but the overall experience (for both clients and internally) is a major joke for a Fortune 500 company. Offshoring of jobs, even specialist/highly skilled ones is happening (which doesn't make sense because that talent is close to non-existent or hard to retain in low-cost offshoring hubs). The Grinch runs the company - evidenced by cancellation of the Christmas Party for 2020 (in a country with close to zero cases of COVID).
