NTT DATA reviews

Run like a boys club. It’s a body shop and nothing more. The whole business model seems to be driven by RFP’s and is a numbers game. They promote incompetence and won’t listen to those who know their field. Their model is to sell at all costs to ensure they make their numbers. Confusion reigns and it’s always someone else’s fault. The culture is appalling. It’s the most superficial place I’ve ever worked. They merged in a successful Design business - And have systematically set about destroying the culture they had and the good people are leaving in droves. It’s bizarre. Oh and if you want to be recognised. Better make sure you do all the extra stuff required of you in ‘magic time’ - I.e. your own. Or of course when you’re being billed to your clients....

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.)
