CTS reviews

The Board are so driven by money that it impacts every decision they make. CTS think they own you 24/7 and that you should be grateful for it. There is one 'technical' person on the board of a technology business. But he's so driven by sales and has the attitude that everything is easy and nobody is as good as him. Management style is to belittle, shout and demand and swear. There were some Heads of Dept and Team Leads that buck this trend, they didn't survive or got poached by decent companies. The only people surviving or thriving in the business are aggressive bullies. Promised pay rises, bonuses, training, to look after people, and that they care... they gave us free training courses to do at weekends, 2% pay rises and broken promises but expect the world from us.

The board is morally ambiguous, and are really just ghastly people with one goal, make money no matter the cost to the client or the staff. Meeting rooms quickly became offices as their ego's wouldn't allow these people to sit amongst their staff. CTS' acquisition plans have destroyed the reputation of two very good legal MSP's, which is a shame as CTS could have improved their reputation instead. But no, they just dragged the others down into the mud where they continue to operate. HR is being run extremely badly, and is a fantastic example of the level of nepotism that exists, never mind if the person can do the job or not, if your face fits you'll get promoted but it comes at a cost. Staff churn has been incredible, I've never seen or heard of anything like this in terms of leavers. Many of the people that had legal IT experience have now moved on. Some people are said to have left in less than a week, and this is for good reason. Unbelievably CTS have actually brought people in to try and fix the problems, they're effectively trying to 'buy' culture. If you're thinking of joining, I'd suggest looking around first and make sure this is going to be right for you. In my view it's only good as a waiting room until the right role comes along.
