Pros

Because its such a large group, there are many opportunities to move across projects and geographies to gain exposure to various clients and sectors. At the same time, the federal practice is firmly entrenched in what it does and so for folks who prefer not to move around so much, they can find stability in that area. And put down roots and really grow. If you are proactive, management works with you to find opportunities for growth, as well as opportunities to try out new projects if desired. The flex-time option is great. Management isnt concerned about face-time as long as you get the job done.

Cons

Because of the size of the company, it can take some time to navigate your way and figure out how to move across projects and different groups. Senior folks have more flexibility in choosing what they want to work on and moving across projects.

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.
