Pros

Job security. One of the best company for lateral joinees. One of the best/big client base to work for. All the best software process and practises. Good brand name

Cons

1. Salary stucture of existing employees is not at par with the lateral hiring specially when you have joined CTS at freshers level as a PAT/PT, 2. Onsite should be rotational ( as they prefer to have the same person at onsite in a way new people are not able to get chance), 3. Moderate chances of onsite upto Programmer Analyst level if you are in development project.(This is the current scenerio after recession) 4. Appraisal process is not fare and not tranparent.

Pros

Good culture. but again depend upon project manager. If he is sensible enough you are lucky collegues are well educated, decent

Cons

Utter partiality. Work like family organization. Any manager can bring their own stuff to their kit. Your work is not v very well recognized. your feed back will be dumped in the dustbin
