Stable company but not an innovator

Pros

A lot of good talented people. Family like atmosphere. Small enough to be known by senior leadership. Company has been around a long time. Has good orientation program and check points for the consultants.

Cons

Flat management structure so limited opportunities for promotion. Company is not a leader in the industry with any products or services and is usually catching up to stay in the game. Top leaders are all friends from past lives so the " family" culture ends up isolating those that are not part of it.

Pros

CTGHS truly cares about an individual's career development. Their managers are assigned to know your goals and help you reach them. Upper management is also looking for opportunities to ensure their employees are presented growth opportunities. CTGHS is a sound organization with a tremendous exposure to the health care industry.

Cons

None at this time, solid company.

Pros

CTG is a very stable company and has been in business since 1966. In fact, CTG is the longest-running IT consulting firm in the US. CTG has never been acquired by or sold to any other company, which is a true testament to our culture and stability as a growing organization. CTG is ISO certified which is a huge advantage. CTG values individual initiative in personal and professional development. CTG has provided me with many growth opportunities which has allowed me to achieve my career goals.

Cons

CTG needs to focus on being more collaborative across all office locations and business units. Better collaboration and communication with employees is critical in order to generate business solutions more efficiently. CTG's management structure appears to be missing a critical middle management level within some significant job functions.

Pros

Mostly casual environment Clients present interesting work opportunities Great hardware support and local IT (workstations, servers, etc) Much of the work is easy once you understand the proprietary system Many employees have stayed employed here for 15+ years Small team feel but part of a large corporation Opportunity to travel and see your software running in the field is fulfilling

Cons

Extremely conservative and old fashioned (waterfall, preference for paper over computers) Senior members actively resist new technology and software practices Project management has been a weakness for years and is not improving Staffing company mentality, history of no severance and no warning dismissals Corporate IT presents many challenges and painful restrictions, lacks focus on productivity and customer success Career advancement is almost non-existent as the goal is to keep people in the same positions forever and avoid re-training costs Management does not participate in career advancement coaching or mentoring Promises from management are often never realized All testing is manual and management is opposed to automated testing Testing and development work is often extremely repetitive Culture of 'work harder, not smarter' Technical achievements often not recognized, working late doing repetitive tasks rewarded and celebrated Office environment could be a lot cleaner Often asked to work nights and weekends with no compensation (occasional pizza at best)

Pros

Several members of the leadership team are broad-bandwidth type professionals with good vision.

Cons

awful culture, little or no investment in developing professionals, pretty much a flesh-peddling business, despite what they may say about positioning themselves for strategic, management consulting type work seem to initiate lots of strategic imperatives for new lines of business, and/or products, but never seem to provide enough runway to get them implemented.
