Pros

- They have a nice office in sky garden - if you can survive a heartless company take 6 months of paid maternity. - they have most corporate benefits.

Cons

They bought my previous company and are slowly taking us all off our clients so they can take out client projects and give them to their junior consultants. We are too expensive for them so they are slowly trying to get rid of us. If you are off client for over 8 weeks they will serve you notice and end your contract. I have received very little support from them through this time. - their systems are very old and legacy and you have to log in multiple times to get access - they have very little career framework support - the management system is very confusing - the share scheme is a scam and leads to people not receiving their money - they underpay their consultants by quite a large marge but then won't allow you apply for clients if they don't make more than 30% on you. - they rushed the purchase of our company leading to little satisfaction and a half done job of us moving over leading to stress and anxiety from many employees. - also they gift us useless crap to pretend they care.

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
