Pros

They pay their wages on time. Flexible schedule.

Cons

You may be hired to perform a specific role, but you may be forced to do a different job. An extremely disorganized company. They hire people with a determined expertise, but put them into random jobs, without worrying whether the employee will suit the job. They take any project from a huge range of technologies, even if they do not have people trained to do them. The company has many project managers who do not know simple management structures, serving only as messengers or intermediaries between the client and the technical side. Especially for software developers, there is no concern about the quality of the code, what generates bad products and that does not cooperate for a good training and work experience for the developers.

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.
