Easy mobility and laid back atmosphere make for a nice work environment but a bad place to advance a career. - Consultant CGI Employee Review

Pros

Easy to move from project to project. Not hard to move from technical role into functional one. Very liberal leave policies and easy to get time off. Culture is pretty relaxed and easy going

Cons

Many co-workers are not of a very strong caliber. Few people are very self-motivated and the lack of competition among workers means that things take longer to get done than at other places.

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.
