Pros

The company offers a good benefit plan. Takes care of all your moving while in USA. Does the GC processing - important for people who want to migrate to US.

Cons

Some managers lack motivational skills. Too much emphasis on whether you can sell. No alternative career path if you are not good at selling services.

Pros

1. Good working atmosphere 2. Admin services (But nowadays it is getting worse) 3. Career path switch 4. Good compenstaion for laterals ( ONLY laterals)

Cons

1. Pathetic promotion guidelines. They change guidelines every cycle/associate 2. Biased managers 3. Laterals will get more salary ( I know it happens everywhere..but people who work for CTS more than 5 yrs will get less paid than a lateral employee who has only 3 yrs exp) 4. When you submit resignation, you will get onsite . ( But who beg for onsite for 3yrs will not be given an oppurtunity) 5. Onsite openings are not transparent. ( They have a portal for that..but most of the openings are not listed there...)
