Pros

Flexible work hours(If you're lucky) The benefits are good compared to other companies.

Cons

- The management fail to recognize talent, and allow them leave without even trying to retain them. - The management feels that the solution to efficiently operate a business is to Micro-manage employees by making them account for all 480 minutes of their work day. - Your only annual bonus is a reminder that you're lucky to have a job. - Middle management love to form cliques, and it's easy to get left out in the cold if you don't tow the line and suck up. - Optional work hours(overtime) is made to seem not optional, and rather mandatory. - Upper Management have an unrealistic view of operations in the trenches because 95% of them have never worked there and have no idea what its like. - Forget about advancement because as soon as they realize you're good at something, they will pigeon-hole you into that role.

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.
