Pros
There are some very smart people that work here and gain some valuable career experience. You have the ability to work on some great projects.
Cons
Zero company culture and the benefits are way below most our companies, especially medical. They offer some support for career growth as well as personal growth, but at the end of the day all they care about is billable hours. If your not billable, you are terminated. There is a lot of turn over in this company.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at CGI full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
They are flexible with hours and will work with you to make sure you have a good work life balance. They allowed me to work remote fulltime so that I could move with my husband when he received a great opportunity in a different city; however, the benefits for flexible hours and working remote vary from office to office and even from manager to manager.
Cons
There aren't many opportunities for promotion or career growth. Also, you don't have a lot of control over the projects and teams you will be assigned to and it can be hard to get off of one that really doesn't fit your education or passions. Also, because there isn't a lot of room for growth the pay isn't the greatest.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at CGI for more than a year
Pros
Recognizable name for resume. Management doesn't scream to get a message across. A few projects offer decent technical learning opportunities (but not many). Emphasis on work-life balance. Many social activities.
Cons
High deductible health plan. Salary and raises are *low* for industry. Most career growth opportunities are for "functional" people. Managers don't scream, but some can be P/A to a degree that borders on pathological. A lot of work is done poorly overseas and/or by highly fragmented teams spanning multiple time zones. Bad communication at all org levels. "Work from home" doesn't always mean the work gets done. Positive annual reviews may require face time at social activities.

Pros

Cons
Managers/ Directors: Never meet you 1-on-1 because they have no time from doing their admin work. CGI does not harbor the culture HR: You can never find out who your HR is in the system or unless you ask the account manager. Career Growth: There is nothing called as career growth path, Managers don't know you, they know you only through client, and Managers do not work with you on any issue or provide any guidance or training. There is nothing you can do beyond becoming as a Sr. consultant Health Plans: That was a best thing cgi had to offer but, its at least $10k OOP expense and spouse+ Kids on the plans, as the premiums are engineered, are highly discouraged. There has been a growing resentment amount the CGI members. MSAP reviews : The managers do let you know internally that there is a chance CGI will find out who has given a bad review so, its an indirect way of controlling resources to not talk about issues. Social engagements: These are all forced, and the pictures we see on social media are when consultants are forced to step out, take a picture, and none of the consultants have real relation or connection to the work/cause they they are pictured for. One of the biggest reason is CGI's focus is on external appearance and does NOT harbor any internal networking/engagements.

Pros
They dont really think that highly of you, thus you dont get that much work. Simple work, nothing hard, always give you instructions on what to do. Thus, you have even more time to just do whatever you want since nothing is hard. Good benefits for people with families
Cons
no career growth opportunities. From seeing the environment here, this is a place you want to be where you only care about making money and supporting a family. For younger people like myself, be prepared to use 10 year old technology, and others which make you laugh when your manager says there are a lot of career growth opportunities. Salary was low, but after being here for a bit, understandable why. Manager has constantly asked me to stay after work hours to work, has asked me to stay on weekends every now and then, as well as told me to eat as little as possible as time is valuable. With literally barely any work given, why on earth do I need to put in all of those extra hours? When he asked me to come in on the weekend, he told me yeah you'll probably just be sitting on your computer doing nothing always but i still want you to come in. For the love of all that is good, stay away and pray for me that I can find a job soon so I can shove a big fat resignation letter with "I quit" in a font size of 72.
