Pros

*Global firm with work opportunities across the world and hence an opportunity to move around *Stock price is doing well and indicates good long term financial stability

Cons

*Too big a firm and it is easy to get not noticed at all. *Lacks a mentorship program or a career development program to track employees and help them grow with the firm

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)..
