Not Recommended for Freshers who is having a Particular Area of interest
Pros
1-Good work life balance 2-We can approach any Unit(HR/Payroll/Manager/Leads) easily 3-CGI have lot of eLearning tools 4-You can invest for CGI. CGI also contribute small percentage of your Contribution 5-There are lot of Member satisfaction programmes(Sports, Cultural, Health checkups, Women oriented Programmes etc.....etc.......) 6-For Laterals/Experienced CGI is heaven 7-Employee friendly 8-Cab facility/Gym/Cafeteria/Free shuttle/Team outing(Yearly once) etc.....etc.. Much more......But
Cons
1- If you are a fresher and having a particular Interest/Technologies/Career Path/Dream then CGI is not the Place. I don't know about other companies. Because CGI will Allocate the freshers randomly as per the needs but they will tell they processed some Algorithms/Based on Interviews etc(They don't disclose that as well. Those who don't know programming they will be in High End development phase. Those who know and passion for Programming they will be consultant....vice-versa). 2-Less Pay for freshers(Increment also Less) 3-Traditional SDLC... Not Agile 4-Two years for the same project. Can't change as per policies. 5-On-site not for freshers. 6-If you have interested in the Financial software they will deploy you in Communication vice-versa(There are many Business Areas)(They don't know your Interest...) 7- (Freshers)-Two Years Bond----Two years same project----Two years same Technology(Reseach saying each 15days new Technologies are rising) etc....etc....... If you are a Fresher kindly share your career path to your HR/Interviewer/Recruiter then sign the agreement. If you get your area of interest as your Designation/Role then Trust me CGI is heaven. All the very best.
