Pros

Promise of future opportunities/rewards from the creation of this new company, part of a huge global company, NTT. Depending on which sector you work in (public/private) you may have a different experience. Also since most work is done on client premises, work environment can vary drastically, from good to deplorable.

Cons

Worst part is bench policy: if they cannot place you in a billable project, you have two weeks to find one or you are let go. All US NTT acquired companies are still siloed, Not taking advantage of overall company opportunities limits each silo. Limited career growth. Management does not have clear guidelines on job evaluation or appraisal and promotion/rewarding, leading to stagnation.

Pros

The people I came in with at Nexient. Boy do I miss Nexient.

Cons

NTT Data uses and loses its employees. The threat of layoffs is constant and there are soft layoffs happening on the bench at all times due to unreasonably strict bench policies that push people out. There is a very low amount of work because the sales team does a terrible job finding it. And what little work they do have they're shipping overseas.
