Pros

None. It is difficult to get things done because the company is rigidly process-driven. Takes weeks to turn around quotes, and even longer to book actual orders. I spend most of my time making excuses to customers about our inability to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time.

Cons

Low base salaries, high/unachieveable quotas, and minimum achievement thresholds before ANY commission is paid. If you accept a sales position, negotiate the highest base salary you are able to get, because they are very stingy on commission payment.

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.
