With the changes happening at CTS there are multiple opportunities to explore in terms of role, though growth options are limited within the co. with budget cuts and scaled promotions. Hikes have also been inconsistent at senior levels and very minimal in %. Lot of scope to learn and develop and leverage it elsewhere. Teams are very collaborative by nature, no major hierarchy culture. Onsite opportunities earlier prior to covid used to be easier if you knew managers. Good work life balance.

Job security - Good

Dislikes

Compensation is lower and growth very slow. Now with the organizational changes, slow to change and process adoption. Mentorship at Manager level lacking and not outcome driven. Acknowledgement from stakeholders disregarded during promotions, promotions manager driven. Lot of skill enablement opportunities within the concern but no management drive on completion.
