Pros

Great junior staff, made some good friends outside of work. London location for offices is good.

Cons

Beware - NTT DATA UK emails staff to post Glassdoor reviews. The London office and Business Consulting is a place where it is all about whether you suck up to the right group of people and do not question the lack of business consulting - it is as other reviewers have said, a bodyshop. If you are after low-end consulting like CRM implementation or change requests etc then you may like the place if you come and can suck up to the right people. During your interviews ask the following questions before you join: - Who do you compete against in the market? (they will try and say Deloitte or even Mckinsey! - very simple to to check, ask them them what consultants and directors are billed to clients at...then ask Deloitte and you'll see what low-end is) - What projects will I be staffed on? (again they will try and give you some 'strategy' or 'management' consulting nonsense...ask how many of these happen, what the size/value of these projects are relative to the overall business...you will most likely be put into a telco project doing low end change requests or IT stuff) - Who leads the business consulting practice and Impact? (look them up on linkedin and determine if you rate their career history etc)

Indeed I do ask our employees to leave reviews. However I would never influence or direct the content of their reviews in any way. The vast majority of our team here at NTT DATA love working here and are more than happy to share their views on Glassdoor. Some reviews are very positive, some average and also some that show us we still have work to do. All reviews are welcome but I would always ask that you share your views with your line manager or HR, that way we can all work towards improving everything we do.

Pros

None, Do not apply for this company

Cons

Bench Policy for consulting is a slap in the face. Within 2 months it has been changed twice, now you have 2 weeks to find new work for yourself and fulfillment gives you no help whatsoever. The turnover is so high that it is impossible to establish a network within the company, meaning you will be out on the street with barely any severance by the time you have completed onboarding.
