Pros

Independence - as a NTT consultant if you are at the client location or working on a project, you are not micro managed and are not part of politics which is a norm if you were working for a company. Not much blame game either.

Cons

Company has potential to be successful, but management is not moving fast enough to implement and communicate their vision to the rank and file. All the companies bought by NTT are still operating under the NTT logo, every company is still using their own legacy system and operating independently, NTT has yet to realize efficiency gain from merging these companies. Too many layers, everyone is director and VP, although they can barely perform at that level, unqualified managers who can not handle clients properly but they all have shiny titles on their shoulders to show off. Too many competing silos, means NTT can not put an unified front for the client fast enough. Recruiters lie big time, do not believe anything which you are told. Benefits suck, medical is too expensive for the consultants, no 401(K) in the first year. Horrible HR and backend IT support system, they have no accountability.

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.
