      Pros

      For young and inexperienced professionals it's a great chance to see the US. CTS got the low-value staff augmentation game nailed!

      Cons

      I am a non-Indian, US-based consulting executive with an Ivy League advanced degree and over 17 years of professional experience. CTS lured me with empty promises of consulting excellence from a Big-4 competitor over 3 years ago. There is no way to be promoted unless you are a yes-man on the leash tied to an account manager. I am currently on a layoff list because I refuse to relocated on a whim of inexperienced, short-sighted and self-serving account managers and insist on travelling to client engagements. CTS will not pay expenses for employee travel and will not bill clients for expenses since expense amounts impact their PERCEIVED profitability! This is a joke of a company. If you are an experienced professional - stay away from CTS!!!

      Pros

      Learn the health care world.

      Cons

      Below market rate of pay; VERY long working hours; no management support. The office is not maintained, dirty carpets, and not much regular cleaning. No respect for employees, Highest paid staff get laid off first, even if they are the best in the department. No possible career advancement. Upper management is very disorganized and doesn't seem to know how to fix the problems.

      Pros

      Best place to work, if you get good manager and team to work along. Otherwise ..hmm..pretty Ok..not unique about it.

      Cons

      Resourcing is poor. Recuritment process should be tightened. Communication, Presentation and Soft Skills should be given importance than technical skills.
