Current Employee – been working at CGI Group full-time for more than a year
Pros – Flexible hours, pros and cons depend on the project you are working on, All equipment provided, decent benefits, company share plan, many positions open all over the world. Perfect for recent grad young guy, if you have family it is very hard to make ends meet.
Cons – Low wages, India meet U.S kind of stuff..It is a body shop after all. No full development life cycle projects. Patching code and small projects very slow to gather work experience.
Advice to Senior Management – Fight for your employees, don't sell your employees short to get clients to agree on low quality work.

Current Employee – been working at CGI Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Not very many pros. The management is very unengaged in the business. The back office is almost all paper-leden. There is no investment in the internal workings of the firm. Lots of layoffs, meanwhile, "strap-hangers" who ar friends of the leaders are allowed to hang in there doing nothing, This was the worst work experience and the creepiest office politics I have ever been subjected to!! Since the company is foreign owned, there are a lot of culture clashes. Benefits are also AWFUL!!
Cons – Virtually everything-- the worst company I have ever worked for in my 35 year career!
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of some of the leaders who perpetuate favortism and tolerate bad behaviors.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at CGI Group full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – They were a really good company until they started looking for a buyer.
Good pay raises for the first two years. One at 6 months and one at the first year mark.
Cons – The last 2 years before CGI bought them they started messing with our annual reviews and delaying promotions and pay raises.
They were very anti-military. Constantly harrasing me about being gone for the military.
Advice to Senior Management – Hopefully they changed the culture of the work place. If you did not work in or around DC, they never wanted to hear from you.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at CGI Group full-time for more than a year
Pros – Career development - tuition assistance, access to online training for professional certifications, certification fees are paid.
Opportunity for promotion without applying; if you perform, you are automatically advanced.
Profit sharing - stock purchases are matched to 3% without a waiting or vesting period.
401K matching to a certain percentage. Great benefits packages.
Annual bonuses eligible after a year. Not many companies now award bonuses to the people working in the trenches, so a very nice perk.
Cons – If CGI is the lead on a project, everything is good. If CGI is a sub-contractor on a project, the staff that is deployed on that assignment will need to adhere to the lead contractor's culture and it is not necessarily a good thing. Someone working as a subcontractor needs to just roll with the punches and adapt.

Current Employee – been working at CGI Group full-time for more than a year
Pros – Life work balance is great with the company.
Cons – Due to the remote working environments there is no general location for employees to got if needs assistance with projects and the assistance that is provided by peers is sub-par.
Advice to Senior Management – CGI needs to treat employees more as a resource and reason they are successful as opposed to office supplies that can be thrown to wayside.

Current Employee – been working at CGI Group
Pros – -Laid back work environment
-Flexible work schedule
-Great work-life balance
-Great people
-Exciting opportunities if you want them
-Company is financially sound
Cons – -No clear career progression
-No training
-Poor leadership/High turnover of leadership
-Poor traditional consultant bonus structure
-No focus on smaller/consulting projects and resources
-No organized practices
-Consulting Bench is 3 weeks (roll of a project and find another one in 3 weeks or your gone) - most consulting companies it is several months - this makes it extremely difficult to have talented resources that can jump on consulting projects when needed on a short notice
Advice to Senior Management – Create a clear career path and put more focus on developing your resources. Organize your talent pools to be experts in a certain area (consulting practices) rather than throwing whoever you have at whatever project happens to come up.
