Pros

Flexible work shifts allowed for me to come in later (mainly because of traffic going into RTP) and I could leave when I wanted to.

Cons

CTG came in and fired 1/3 of the 80 or so people in my lab (per directive from IBM) for the Pure Flex project that was already running behind. After this, they then *forced* us to work a minimum of 6 days a week and at one point actually scheduled us for 7 days a week. We were hourly so it was said to be *legal* but we definitely had to come in at least 1 day out of every weekend for 8 months. What it boils down to is 1/3 of the team was fired with practically no notice and then the remaining people had to work 6-7 days a week for 8 months in order to not get cut as well. This was a very dissatisfying experience and I left the company after they refused to give me a raise after pushing for it for almost 6 months. My team was not making much money for all of this effort. The average salary to work under these conditions on my team was $15-$19 an hour.

Pros

CTG is part of Cegeka, which is a big European company that offers depth in the IT arena. If you want to learn more about how an IT department should be run, they have a lot of playbooks you can use.

Cons

Its a big company and hard to find things or people who can help you easily.
