Pros

401k match Stock Purchasing Program Great Work/Life Balance Company looks good on a resume Low stress Good co-workers

Cons

CGI made a big deal in recruiting me about the opportunity to earn Flex time to have additional time off. But the project I was on would never let you accumulate or use it. Very misleading Makes a big deal about potential to travel, but that actually RARELY happens. A very quiet and boring atmosphere (if you’re an extrovert) Spent many days doing nothing because of low amount of work given. Many of coworkers would watch Netflix and YouTube all day because of it. Not much of a consultant type job (what they described it as), more of a sitting at desk doing odd tasks given by PM. Pretty much just document reading for 8 hours a day. If you’re looking to grow your career through ACTUAL experience, not just a name on your resume, I wouldn’t suggest this company.

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
