Pros

Work from home option Good work life balance Good if you are settled in your life & want to focus more on family & not learning and growth I wanted growth in my life & was lucky to have moved on from this company, but I had to do that with lots of struggle. Think twice before joining so that you don't have to undergo this mental stress at all

Cons

The company is full of false promises People joining here as software engineers are made to work on age-old technologies & thus lose the opportunity to learn new things which reduces their market value People joining as business analysts are made to do manual testing which is not a work of a business analyst at all which again makes them unemployable outside Most of the quality work is reserved for on-site people in US & Canada hence Indians are expected to do menial works. Company management has a 20-year-old philosophy notwithstanding the present market scenario of IT industry I was hired as a business analyst & for a pre-sales role (as per job description). I've worked for almost 1.5 years as a manual tester. Few managers think they are like untouchable super gods & treat their employees like slaves & use abusive languages

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.
