Pros

Honestly, the only great reason to work for CGI is when you are fresh out of college. If I say anything else is good, I would be lying.

Cons

Get your 1 year experience, and move on. The management is clueless on large projects, and treats you like kids. Managers are picked based on who is in the "clique." Experience and people skills mean nothing to become a manager or team lead. Morale is often very low due to very weak management. Little to no communication. Managers always pass the blame to people on their team, it is never their faults. Little to no direction. Team leads are often kids - very immature, and childish - i.e. playing hangman during meetings (true story).

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.
