open culture, strong senior leadership, opportunity for growth (if you are in the right BU) and less bureaucratic compared to other IT services

middle management layer is weak - not capable of mentoring junior people, company culture is getting diluted to keep up with growth pace, too much expectation / work pressure for the 20% capable people to pull along rest 80% lower-than average employees, appraisal system is weak

Pros

If you are non-technical person and a selfish person and knows how to cheat people(your team members),Use them cleverly and throw them away once the job is done.this is right place for you.

Cons

Just Everything ...I joined CTS 5 years back, campus-recruited (delayed the joining day by 6 months)..Management guy are mostly non-techie , talks sweetly -- never believe them the screw up your career. Pay scale is one of lowest in the field.No work/life balance. I heard most my teammates saying "this guy(proj.lead/manager) treats us like slaves man" One interesting trend i found is that ,almost 99% IT manager belong to specific caste (lol)..
