Pros

Like many other smaller businesses, CGI bought our original consulting company and absorbed us. I have not found any pros from this company in the past two years. On the contrary, it's the opposite. Time to move on like the rest of my coworkers.

Cons

Before CGI bought our original company, we were a very happy group working together in Wausau. There were definitely some favorites among us but those that weren't, still enjoyed coming to the office everyday. We had a very engaged director and most of our management was very good. We felt valued and like we mattered. We had little perks from the company like egg rolls or popcorn every week. It's small but it counts. We had various committees and we would rotate out so everyone had a chance, if they chose, to bring ideas to the table. Since CGI absorbed us, we had our popcorn and egg rolls taken away without a word to us. Our committees are gone. The company dismissed our director, supposedly because he didn't fit "the model". We fear for our jobs once our contracts are up with our clients which means we can be given as little as two weeks to find another client or we are dismissed. The trust is completing gone with upper management. They don't tell us anything. If we ask questions, it's the typical, I'll find out and let you know. Letting us know without a roundabout answer is fun. We just received a new director, after almost one year without and this guy has no idea. He doesn't know us nor has he tried. He has walked past me personally a dozen times and has yet to say hello. I have been making it a point to notice this before leaving my review to be fair towards him. He is just like our other higher up who very seldom comes here and acts like a clown. I have no trust in this guy so I don't even want to say hello first. It's unfortunate that we can't expect more support from our company. All of my coworkers are leaving for a $20,000 to $50,000 increase in pay and I CBS yet to hear from the company about any concern. Most of us feel like this company didn't want us, they just wanted to cut out another competitor and take the customers.

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.
