Pros

Low stress; easy, non-demanding work; mostly work eight or less hours per day; little to no travel; the people who work there are mostly nice.

Cons

Work is not challenging, and there is little to no career advancement; management is poor, and untrained, and often seems to be hiding bad news from employees (management is overly optimistic). Also, salaries are too low, with poor raises, and benefits. There is also too many non-Americans with visas working there, which is probably why salaries are low and the benefits aren't good (the non-Americans don't even realize they are being taken advantage of, when it comes to salaries and benefits). If you are American, you are definitely in a minority, and may feel alienated, and would probably make more money and receive better benefits at another compnay. CGI has abused the H -1B visa system, and uses off shore people as much as possible.

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.
