CNS lacks clear direction from top to bottom. The management, including project managers, does not have a defined vision or actionable objectives. Hiring decisions are made without proper planning—people are brought in without assigned roles or long-term plans, and later terminated midway through their contracts simply because there are no projects. This isn’t due to external factors but stems from the poor planning and lack of project acquisition skills of the project managers themselves.
It’s disheartening to see that some employees are essentially doing nothing—just sitting, snacking. Unfortunately, this kind of mismanagement is rewarded. Unqualified individuals have been promoted to managerial roles, leading to further inefficiencies, frustration, and stagnation.
Skilled and talented professionals have already left the company, including competent managers who couldn’t thrive in such a disorganized, politically charged environment. If you are someone who is serious about building your career, CNS is not the place to do it.
Job security is extremely low. Even high performers risk being let go if the company fails to secure projects—which, based on current trends, happens often. The atmosphere is far from professional. Internal politics dominate decision-making, and merit rarely plays a role.
The HR department is one of the worst I’ve encountered. There is no transparency, no proper employee support, and no sense of structure or purpose. It’s unclear what HR actually contributes to the business. For professionals coming from well-organized, ethical workplaces, CNS will feel like a step backward.
Unless major changes are made—starting with leadership, project strategy, and HR—this company is unlikely to survive long term. Talented professionals, especially those who value structure, purpose, and respect, should think twice before joining.
