Pros

Some nice people, who get disillusioned and leave.

Cons

Whatever reviews you read if you decide to join NTT DATA UK do your research. Ask the right questions (they will lie to you) and stay away if low end IT services or bodyshopping is not for you. Before you even come for an interview consider: - Does NTT DATA UK have genuine practice areas based on shared intellectual property? No. There are squads but this is all fluff, the output of which has not been used to sell into clients in any meaningful way. - Does NTT DATA UK limit its consultants’ billable time for strategic purposes? No. As a bodyshop NTT DATA UK bills as much of its consultants’ time as possible, all the time. (In contrast real consultancy firms continually invests time in improving its collective knowledge and performance.) - Does NTT DATA UK measure success in terms of profitability per engagement? NTT DATA UK's goal is simply to bill as much as possible as time and materials(T&M) so it can “run the clock” as long as it can. (Real consulting firms use their knowledge to deliver high-value fixed-price engagements.) - Does NTT DATA UK leverage new skills to build higher-level relationships? In true bodyshop style NTT DATA UK simply adds new skills to its list of “things we do.” (Real consultancy firms analyses and leverage new skills into higher-level client relationships.)

Pros

- Business consulting community are great people (not the leadership). - Good work life balance (would be the case for body shopping)

Cons

- There is no consulting to be found here, just bodyshopping, might as well go and work for the clients. - Nothing strategic. - They sell you dreams in the role description, probably find yourself on the bench anyway. - Take positive reviews with a pinch of salt.

Thank you for taking time to post this review. We pride ourselves on having an open and honest culture where all feedback we receive is taken seriously so that we can continue to make NTT DATA a great place to work. The whole environment that we aim to create is one that fosters, transparency and a lack of hierarchy. In order to support that we create many opportunities during our social activities and within our offices in Shoreditch, The City and Birmingham to speak up and have a direct contact with diverse peers, colleagues and leaders such as our weekly Elevenses, First Friday and monthly social events. Sometimes we ask our staff to do “client side” roles so that we can break into accounts and “land-and-expand”. As we are in growth mode we probably have more of these roles than we would normally. In order to lessen the impact of this on our permanent staff we employ a large number of contractors so that we can put them into the “bodyshop” roles leaving our staff to work on projects. Our People Manager structure exists to support our staff through the staffing process, when out on client site and through the whole of our careers at NTT DATA. This is the frontline for dealing with issues that impact how we feel about our company and the work that we do. They have a direct escalation route for dealing with concerns to either UK leadership or HR.

Thank you for your review, we take all feedback very seriously as we pride ourselves on having an open and honest culture, and continually strive to make NTT DATA an even better place to work. We pride ourselves on the interesting projects that we do to help our clients transform their businesses. We work with everyone to ensure that we can grow their career and focus on key areas of development and interest. The size of NTT DATA allows our people to work across many industries and technologies which is not always the case in other larger consultancies. Our increasing focus on proposition-led engagements and emerging technologies means that everyone gets the opportunity to engage in our Squads/ practices and to contribute through other diverse work streams such as CSR, D&I, Tech Talks, and Service Line capabilities. The objective is to empower everyone in the business to change and shape the organisation for the better. We strive to have an open and honest culture that is free of favouritism and bias, if we aren’t achieving that we need to know so that we can take action. Feel free to talk to me (or any member of the UK leadership team) in confidence or if you don’t feel that you can do that, talk to HR
