No consulting, just bodyshopping. - Business Consultant NTT DATA Employee Review

Thank you for taking time to post this review. We pride ourselves on having an open and honest culture where all feedback we receive is taken seriously so that we can continue to make NTT DATA a great place to work. The whole environment that we aim to create is one that fosters, transparency and a lack of hierarchy. In order to support that we create many opportunities during our social activities and within our offices in Shoreditch, The City and Birmingham to speak up and have a direct contact with diverse peers, colleagues and leaders such as our weekly Elevenses, First Friday and monthly social events. Sometimes we ask our staff to do “client side” roles so that we can break into accounts and “land-and-expand”. As we are in growth mode we probably have more of these roles than we would normally. In order to lessen the impact of this on our permanent staff we employ a large number of contractors so that we can put them into the “bodyshop” roles leaving our staff to work on projects. Our People Manager structure exists to support our staff through the staffing process, when out on client site and through the whole of our careers at NTT DATA. This is the frontline for dealing with issues that impact how we feel about our company and the work that we do. They have a direct escalation route for dealing with concerns to either UK leadership or HR.
