Pros

Nothing as pros since it is difficult to find a project.

Cons

Be aware since in CGI if you go on bench , then 90 percent chance is there that they will fire you. During this Corona pandemic also they are torturing the employees on bench and threatning them to put down paper. RMG & HR team is not good and not at all helping. Once you go on bench and cross 45 days then they will start threatning you to either find a project or they will remove you. Just for formality sake they will provide you few interview opportunitites but that is a trap and you will not get selected even after doing good in interview. There is no job security in this company. Problem is this company always has billing issue and cannot compete with top players like TCS, WIPRO, Accenture etc. Its not a good company when it comes to putting you on a long term billable project. My advice , please do not join this company.

Pros

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Cons

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.

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.
