Pros

Good Benefits Starting Salary for Grads is good

Cons

No Training for specific role - and you will get blamed for not being able to complete or meet KPIs despite their lack of training for you Managers are non-supportive, don't care about the lack of training Other departmental members are rude, ignorant and show a lack of compassion or understanding towards new members/graduates People make you feel like an idiot for not knowing things and imply you are incompetent- the nasty and rude emails are not helpful Blame culture- no one takes responsibility Early careers create a picture of harmony - it's not There are apparently career opportunities, but it is frowned upon for you to progress or leave current role before 2 years and managers will not let you go, pay doesn't increase that much If you do want to work your way up, expect to work really long hours

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.
