Pros

# Good work culture. # Flexible timings. # Supportive team (peers, sub-ordinates and supervisors). # Onsite opportunities available.

Cons

CTS is basically a service based company. Whether you feel good or bad about work here is a reflection of how your client treats. Your comfort at work depends upon the client you work with. Below are some of my experiences with a banking client. # Scope and solution model keeps changing day by day. The project deadlines remain the same. # There are lot of non technical requirements, to be met. # You won't get a competent team to meet the project many times. Only some of the members are good. # There is no work life balance. # Some of the architectures are flawed. You cannot change them. But all the risk of delivery will be on top of you. # Job of a lead is very tough. Stress is beyond one's bearing capacity. # Freshers can thrive in this kind of projects. They can grow up to meet the requirements and slowly become capable leads. # For laterals this can be a nightmare. # Management is aware of these issues. I am sad that does not help. But this experience does not apply to all employees. There are other projects which are better and its a good experience being there.

Cons

Reporting structure is unknown , you are made to report to person who is not aware of your projects. No recognition, watsever good work you do No salary Hike. No promotion. You will be a associate for years and will be made to report to se.associate who will do your performance rating even when they dont have an idea who you are and what is exact work that you do Offshore management(leads , managers) will take all the credit of your hard work and day and night efforts
