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...)
