...ou will be fine, if you comply CTS rules then you have nothing to worry about. You will get hike every year, based on the company's turnover it may vary but mostly good compensation you will get. Work culture is very good, CTS support women's like no other company(Gender equality is amazing), gives priority to people who brings valuable ideas. One of the best IT company to work.

CTS should improve their cafeteria and gym contractors.
