Share purchase plan can't offset poor management and support

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Share purchase plan, EPF contribution is higher

Cons

1. No Annual Hikes from CGI 2. Bad CGI management 3. CGI Management doesn't care about employees deployed in client location (Volvo Group Connected Solution now its called Digital Technology & Operations), Managers in Volvo are very bad technically and they don't have a process which would improve the project deliverables. They just know to micromanage consultants on unwanted reasons like WFH even if the work is being delivered on time. CGI managers will not care about the consultants deployed at Volvo because they are getting their money and give consultants 50% of it . so its a win win situation for CGI and Volvo Group but the employed joined from CGI are suffering a lot mentally .

Pros

It has a good benefit package and work life balance is great.

Cons

Salary is poor and not made up for by the benefits. The standard of work is really poor, I hoped for so much more.
