Pros

-Unlimited sick time -Hired with boot camp cohort so at least we weren't alone during all of the CGI shenanigans

Cons

Truly one of the worst companies I have ever worked for so I'm not sure where to start. -ZERO training for early career people despite what they say. Their "early career program" consists of facilitated Googling/Udemy which is already expected in the field of tech. No actual company or client training is provided. -Complete unprofessionalism and lack of respect. It's very common for management and even consultants to completely ghost scheduled meetings and regularly not respond to emails or DMs. -NOT a collaborative environment, consultants are out for themselves and rarely want to help other team members- if they do it's begrudgingly with a high dose of condescending attitudes. -Chaotic and disorganized at all times -Extremely low PTO -Incompetent, mediocre managers -Fake, cult-like culture -Management claims to care about their "members" but they do not. They only care about the client.

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.
