Pros

1. Not that much of work pressure. 2. I thought for like 10 mins, cant find any other point rather than point number 1.

Cons

I have been working in level Assoicate (Sr. Software Developer) for since I joined CTS and still after 5 plus years I am in the same level. My freind who has exactly the same number of Days as expeiernce (9 years) has now joined CTS as Manager but I am still awiting for my term to get promoted to Senior Associate Level ( Teach Lead) after that it comes Manager Position. This shows how they treat their existing employees. They might give you a hnadsome pay at the time of joining but later you are on GODs hands, if luckily by any chance you get onsite then good else you will have to get satisified with the false promises made my your managers. So I can List down the Cons to points as 1. NO PROMOTION 2. HIKES par below Market Standard. (My Current Package is less than No of years Experience) 3. Works on Technolgies that are from Stone Age.( They will emphasise everyone get certfied on Cloud like AWS, Azure or Google but on reality you have to work on same outdated projects, even if you get certfied). In Summary if you have only got one offer then join CTS else its better to join any other companies.

Pros

Nothing to mentioned here, till now i not find any thing here accept playing carom inside production hours.

Cons

This company is 20 years old company, but if you compare this company to other company this company never grows. Reasons are as below:- Leader are not technically fit. Most of the people who works from long time they want to save there position for that they releasing the resource frequently, so they maintain the position for long time. While doing code review doing lot of mistake. No appreciation for hard work. Appreciation come to you plate when you are behaving like pet dog. So better away from this comp.

Pros

Not anything I can think of.

Cons

Full of incompetent middle management who have been with company since they started their career ( Many more than 20 years) - Just because they belong to one region/language - Tamil. They wont let others to work. If you are Indian and not Tamil -- don't even think of joining this organization
