The problem NTT DATA face in the UK is the inability to accept they are a very low margin IT bodyshop. Most of the junior "consultants" are in IT project management or PMO related activities. As a bodyshop the margins are so low the UK barely makes any profit. There was an endless discussion about soft drinks and coke in the kitchen. The cost was estimated at £50k which meant we had to sell over £1.5million in new business! Profit margins less than 4%, no money to invest in staff, IP point squarely to a low end bodyshop and glorified staffing agency. As other posts have said, ignore the hype about "being a startup" or "Japanese innovation" - that is true but not in the UK. A complete illusion where all the good people do their 1 to 2 years and leave.
