Pros

Company shares Good benefits Location close to metro Social club ?????

Cons

Company watches your every move. Be prepared to justify how much time you work on a project. Need to explain why take long when going to the bathroom even if you have a medical condition. More than 6 minutes away from your post as a helpdesk consultant you will get reprimanded. If you work Christmas Eve they will allow you to leave at 12:00pm but need to use your overtime / vacation time. The only company I've worked for that asks to use your banked hours to leave early on xmas eve. Ebenezer is running the company. Opportunities only for employees that know how to lick the right hands. No one smiles anymore at their job. Everybody is looking out for themselves & don't care who they step on to get to the top. Once you reach 7-8 years service with company they will demote & try to make your life difficult in order to force you to quit ,if you don't quit they will lay you off & tell you that you are part of restructuring in order to higher from external at lower salary.

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.
