Pros

Salary is good and work-life balance is good. Sometime long working hours, which is normal in any companies. Manager driven policies.

Cons

1. Immigration team is the worst department. they dont reply to your email, they dont pick up calls. They dont inform you even if your immigration status is in danger. They dont copy concerned employee in any email, they only send mails to managers. 2. Green card policy is after 9 months, but they dont apply till last year of your h1. They will apply only if you are needed for the management. 3. External recruiters tell that if H1B fails (RFE or rejection), you will be posted at offshore. But that never happens. If your H1 is in problem, then they will lay you off directly. 4. External recruiters make a lot of promises on location transfer, projects, green card etc etc. But once you join, they dont even pick up your call. If you ask your manager about those promises, they will say they are not aware of those. 4. Once you are on bench, the GRM team only tells that you will be laid off after 2 paid weeks. They dont even try to place you in any project. They will try for 1 or 2 projects, but in case you dont crack the interview (may be skill set mismatch), they dont even try for next one. 5. A lot of policy exists but only on papers. They are not applied even in employee's worst situation.

Pros

- You can use this company as a stepping stone to gain some experience before you move on - Newer people working in the company are nicer - Decent salary when you are starting off

Cons

- Bigots in the Leadership Team - Diversity & Inclusion is a tick box - they dont really care for the people - No support provided to newcomers who have no experience in the field - you are left on your own to fend for your self - Resource Management is a farce - leadership team uses personal vendetta to make sure people are kept away from projects - They are continuously hiring because they are continuously losing people - Wants to be seen as a consultancy but in reality is an agency and operates like one

Pros

Nothing apart from the new office location and some of the new joiners

Cons

The problem NTT DATA face in the UK is the inability to accept they are a very low margin IT bodyshop. Most of the junior "consultants" are in IT project management or PMO related activities. As a bodyshop the margins are so low the UK barely makes any profit. There was an endless discussion about soft drinks and coke in the kitchen. The cost was estimated at £50k which meant we had to sell over £1.5million in new business! Profit margins less than 4%, no money to invest in staff, IP point squarely to a low end bodyshop and glorified staffing agency. As other posts have said, ignore the hype about "being a startup" or "Japanese innovation" - that is true but not in the UK. A complete illusion where all the good people do their 1 to 2 years and leave.
