Dislikes

Zero job security. No project for freshers. Project Managers do not want freshers in most of the cases. After 1-2 years it leads to termination. Fake job programs in bench period. They don't care about employees career. Don't believe in job programs during bench period. They do not give project what they promises after passing a certain number of exams. You are on your own. Salary is good no doubt. This is where freshers get trapped. Skills are important at the beginning. Please understand if any fresher is seeing this....Read More

At a junior level, M and below, job security is extremely high. In past 3 years I didn't find organisation trying to fire people deliberately. In many cases poor performing people end up staying in the organisation enjoying the perks. Most junior people are protected the most. Another positive is everyone gets the same percentage of salary hike as per the Rating....Read More

Dislikes

Promotions are restricted to Kolkata or Chennai people mainly, other city people have less preference as the seniors sit there. Same while giving important projects. I was told by another existing person when I joined but after 3 yrs, realising the same unfortunately. Politics is v v high. They just want to meet the numbers, evenif you manipulate or twist things, it's ok as there are no reviews. They just want to tick the boxes for the heck of it. Also, very old people..like dead wood not having visibility and understanding of what to do and get done. No industry scenario as they are frogs in a well. No one from non-Kolkata join here as it would be no learnings and no progression, no work scenarios here....Read More

Nothing much, it's average service type company with decent salary. But leaves are good. 30 leaves per year in a service company is really commendable.

Dislikes

1. They hire based on prospective projects, and often the projects don't land. And then they have very limited time on bench, hence job security is an issue. 2. Work from office schedule is very strict, there should be some flexibility. 3. No proper employee benefits such as outings orlunches or parties, all they care about is billing. 4. Little too much of micro-management...Read More

No Job security, in the past one year I have seen alot of people getting forcefully terminated. There are almost no new project in CTS. Only the long term client still remains. Most of the newly hired freshers and being in bench for more than 18 months and getting terminated after that. Yearly Hike percentage dropped very very low....Read More
