Pros

I guess if you want to do low end IT technology consulting as part of a managed service its ok and the London offices are in a very good location.

Cons

NTT DATA in the UK does not know who they want to be. This may (in part) be reflected by the massive egos of the senior management who like to believe they are akin to McKinsey's/Bain's etc but know deep down they do low end IT services projects and bodyshopping. Perhaps they are embarassed or don't want to see reality however the dearth of real c-suite relationships or real strategy projects is the true picture. NTT DATA is a IT bodyshop (look at all the strategic staffing hires - now rebranded to Partners & Alliances) but they just cant seem to be honest and instead talk vaguely about 'Japanese innovation' and changing the world. Junior consultants know this and the good ones are just waiting to leave whilst the ones who were sold the 'Digital' or 'Start-up consulting' dream to leave Deloitte/PWC seethe in annoyance they got suckered in.

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.
