Pros

Fully remote, I guess? No real bright spots to be had other than some really great people.... that haven't yet been laid off (the list is dwindling)

Cons

NTT Data created a BU called "Launch" combining 5 or 6 software development agency acquisitions under their umbrella in an attempt to modernize their business services portfolio. They quickly stripped away all perks and benefits, good software tools, and cultural elements that made each acquired agency great prior to acquisition (de-modernizing all acquired agencies). Leadership had too many cooks in the kitchen at the start, all angling for greater power and trying to retain a spot long enough to obtain their retention bonuses and then parachute out of there. The business pipeline was poor during integration, and continued to be poor on the long trail of becoming "Launch" resulting in several rounds of layoffs. By several I mean like more than 4 from Jan '23 on; I hear through the grapevine they're still conducting layoffs (writing this as of Nov '24). And that's on top of the outsized attrition of good people leaving a terrible work environment all along the way. Think of anything you like about a company that does something right, and you've thought of something NTT Data fails at every day; take your pick. Notes on details: they don't entertain typical tech titles like "Product Manager" even though that's exactly what those people do. NTT employs "functional consultants" with other tacked-on, meaningless gibberish so that job titles are 8 or more nonsensical words. I also put that I worked here less than 1 year, as I was only officially an NTT Data employee for about 10 months post-integration but worked at the acquired agency for 9+ months.

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.
