Pros

Literally nothing good to say at all

Cons

The office culture is abysmal. Not only is sexual harassment tolerated, but it's encouraged. I reported a team lead for sexual harassment because she made wildly inappropriate comments about a coworker's body (on not one, but two occasions). When I told my supervisor what happened, she told me it was just a joke and that it was a part of Black culture that I don't understand (said supervisor is not Black herself). Then she promised me that the team lead would not be allowed in our office anymore. The team lead continued to come in every day without consequence. Not only that, but my supervisor told her that I reported her, and then the entire office I work in talked about me behind my back for being "sensitive." I feel gaslit and shunned for speaking up for what I thought was right. That same team lead came into our office every day bragging about one of the adjudicators she's sleeping with and I was expected to simply keep my mouth shut and tolerate it. It's ridiculous. I've observed so much hostility and bad-mouthing behind peoples' backs on a daily basis. It's literally like high school all over again. Another one of my coworkers caught my supervisor talking loudly about me in the hall because I had to take time off for a doctor's appointment and apparently that would affect her bonus. Nothing is private and there is very little respect that people have for each other.

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.
