College Khabari Review
Background: Electrical Engineering Graduate
Total experience in CTS: 2 years
Functional Expertise/Designation/Location: Senior Associate
Views about CTS :
CTS offers three months of initial program of rigorous training for all those who do not have industry experience. Looking at current situation onsite opportunities are still better than its counterparts. Work environment do not considered to be too good. Offices have more local aspects rather being global.
Positive and Encouraging views about the company
The training program offered by CTS is quite renowned in industry. Fair and politics free environment prevails in CTS.
But Salary for freshers is an issue at CTS. They pay low. Appraisals are also low. It lacks quality of work. But some domain knowledge may be useful in future.
Recommendations:
CTS is average learning place and for people who just want a career in IT CTS is quite a good place to work. If you have other options like TCS, Infy, IBM, Wipro than CTS is not that good place.
