Pros

You get a salary. Cannot think of anything else worth writing here.

Cons

Management is mostly useless, has no actual management training, doesn't communicate with its staff, makes huge promises but never delivers, and its all about them and nothing about you. NTT DATA Americas should just be called Keane again because its the same management, with the same level of cheapness, and the same treatment of its employees like cattle. NTT DATA recently switched to a high deductible health plan so that management could keep more money, and the employees were forced to pay a lot more per month for medical, plus if they got sick before they had saved enough of their huge deductible, they would just have to pay it all out of pocket. What a great way to thank their employees. NTT DATA keeps their hard working and loyal employees on the bench for only 2 weeks before removing their salary, and 2 weeks later firing them. Unlike its competition that allows employees to stay on the bench for at least 3 months with full salary and benefits. This is just one example of how little they care about their employees, and how much they care about keeping me money for themselves. NTT DATA puts people with no management skills and no people skills in management roles, and when their teams don't produce or become unhappy , they fire the employees and not the manager. They also do not then take the manager to teach them the correct way to deal with humans, they just leave the problem and let it continue. NTT DATA publicly states that they are investing in a certain technology segment, but internal doesn't actually do that investment. So that technology segment becomes the company's weak point. Reviews at NTT DATA are mostly a joke. No matter how hard you work and how above and beyond you go, your manager will always cut your rating down to "meets expectations" so that they don't have to pay you a good bonus or put you up for a salary increase. Employees who complain to HR about these kinds of things get nowhere as HR sides with management and does;t really look into your complaints, and downplays your complaint as "not really a big deal". You would be advised to stay away from NTT DATA.

Pros

The people I came in with at Nexient. Boy do I miss Nexient.

Cons

NTT Data uses and loses its employees. The threat of layoffs is constant and there are soft layoffs happening on the bench at all times due to unreasonably strict bench policies that push people out. There is a very low amount of work because the sales team does a terrible job finding it. And what little work they do have they're shipping overseas.
