Avoid working here at all costs. McDonalds treats their employees better. - Programmer/Analyst CGI Employee Review

Pros

They will hire anybody. Sick time is unlimited. You have a pretty decent cubicle.

Cons

If you don't suck up then you don't move up. They don't give a rat's butt about you as a person. If you don't cook, don't expect a promotion. Yes, I meant to type cook! (I realize this is an IT company and culinary skills shouldn't play a role, but you'd be surprised in the SWVA Center)

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.
