Pros

Flexible hours was about the one good thing with this job. Not that it was a huge advantage for me as I lived within walking distance of the office, but it's nice for people who have to commute.

Cons

Salary was the worst I had in 15 years, even with 15 more years' experience in the field. Very soon after joining I was assigned a task which a lot of other people would refer to as a "death march" which was both important to the business and lacking any kind of formal requirements, so you can imagine how well that worked out. We were working for a financial so the procedures for getting things done were byzantine, yet there really wasn't anyone who had solid knowledge of processes and could communicate them beyond pointing you to an intranet web page.

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.
