Pros

There is a large workforce so there is relative job stability. It is fairly easy to get time off when you need it considering it is a consulting company. They have some good clients like the city, state, and federal governments. There is the possibility of taking online training classes. Depending on the management they are relatively easy to approach if necessary. They have a nice party 2 times a year, a company wide "Town Hall" meeting at Chelsea Piers and a holiday party some time in late February, although i am not quite sure what makes that a Holiday party.

Cons

There is relatively low career development. Promotions if they come seem to come around the 6 or 7 year mark with exceptions. Promotions do not necessarily come with raises. There is relatively low profit sharing if there is any at all. There are no yearly bonuses. Salary raises are in the 3 % range not to top 5%. They claim there is a class stipend for each employee but this money is relatively hard to obtain. Training is almost never granted since it possibly effects your work schedule or availability. Once you are on a project, you are most likely stuck there forever, or until you are no longer needed. It is hard to change projects.

Pros

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Cons

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.
