Pros

No pros. If you value yourself as developer or a human being, stay away from this company at any cost.

Cons

- Legacy code - Bad (micro) management - No Scrum or agile or waterfall - No tolerance in learning curve. - No clarity between the management and employees - No plan for the future. Not the near (one month ahead) or any future - "You don't have the time not to find the root cause of the bug". Can you image listening to this while working? For a bug you did not create ? - No work life balance - Unpaid overtime - They will lie to you about many things, like technology toolstack, before hiring you. And when you get hired you'll face different things. - You won't do any actual development. The company undertakes huge EU projects which you simply have to maintain. Big deal

Pros

You get paid on a monthly basis. Easy access to a gentlemen’s club next to their new office.

Cons

Leadership and management are bullies and will lie to cover their own mistakes. Staff turnover is very high, if you survived 2 years congratulations as you haven’t been managed out yet or pushed out yet. Leadership has a report as to who has been in the company less than 2 years as a firing list, as you have no employment rights. Lots of positive reviews here are due to HR actively encouraging you how amazing the place is and that you should write a glassdoor review whilst you are within your probation period aka honeymoon period. Most people are looking to leave as the environment is toxic. If you are from an ethnic minority watch your back and be prepared to be fired or expect no promotions.

Thank you for your review. We take all reviews seriously and use them to help us learn and grow. To your point about encouraging reviews, yes we do, but we would never ask anyone to leave a review that is anything other than 100% their own opinion, but we do want people to know how great it is working here. At NTT DATA we are proud of our very diverse teams, our embracing of diversity and inclusion is what enables us to continue to be key partners to our clients who also value the differing opinions and viewpoints that diversity enables. We know we have more to do, we’d love nothing more than to see an increase in female applicants and employees and as such we actively participate in The Girls Network and the 30% club as well as running our own very active Women’s Business Network. We have also recently launched the Cultural Ethnicity Network (CEN) whose mission is to celebrate the cultural and ethnic diversity of our colleagues, championing ethnic minority progression and inclusion. Ensuring that everyone feels included and engaged is very important to us. To facilitate this we are in the process of implementing unconscious bias sessions and talking circles whereby people feel they can talk openly in a safe space and learn from one another. We will continue to drive existing and, where required, start new initiatives to ensure that we continue to embrace diversity and inclusion.

Pros

New London office near Old Street is good.

Cons

I joined what I thought was a growing digital technology company who provided innovation and consulting to major telco corporates and insurance companies. I was sold a vision of startup culture, innovation and management consulting. Unfortunately this is far from the case. I was immediatley put on a bodyshop project, my requests for training not approved (only IT services scrum/agile etc. training is approved), and I have not seen a UK project come even close to what would be considered consulting let alone strategy consulting. The company has some fun and cool junior consultants however the senior directors and leadership team have no vision bar low margin bodyshopping strategy and favouring an inner clique of suck-ups. This toxic culture permeates the entire London office. People from Deloitte, PWC etc interview regulary, the good ones immediately spot the hype and don't join.
