Pros

Used to be a fun quickly growing workplace but old respected CEO was fired during integration for political reasons and MBAs with spreadsheets taking over and nobody likes it. It is a paying job and company is well backed by large Japanese parent but run like US chop shop now.

Cons

Customers and employees are quitting and looking for alternatives. Internal coordination has overnight stopped with integration and projects are painful to watch. No new clients are signing up hurting career opportunities Company thinks Canada is just another US state. Terrible HR polices nickel and dime. Internal support mechanisms including email all in India and are terrible. Company used to be special, now a 2nd rate outsourcer.

Pros

I have worked with NTT DATA as a government IT and project management consultant since 2018, starting with Cognosante before the acquisition. My experience has been very positive. I have had the autonomy to focus on the success of my team and my client, while also having the support of a large, high-performing organization. There are real opportunities for growth, strong training resources, and leaders who genuinely care about employees, clients, and the communities they serve. I have also been promoted during my time here, which reflects the company’s commitment to recognizing and developing talent.

Cons

As with many large organizations, processes and systems and can sometimes take time to navigate, especially during periods of growth or transition. Continued focus on communication and simplifying internal processes would make the employee experience even stronger.
