Pros

Company is big so it will be helpful to put it on your resume. This will help down the road.

Cons

Lot of things are not transperent. Different businesses do not have any interaction, so will not know what is going on in the rest of the company.

Pros

Dynamic, new projects, new clients, opportunities are there, move to certain level may happen, all frameworks to facilitate life of employee are in place, common sense in decision making by management as a sign of growing Business Unit, so personal growth in direct relation to the manager, benefits are in place, money for training there

Cons

no salary increase in last 2 yrs, this is available only with the promotion, many deserve raise, not so many can get promoted and it is more difficult to justify the latter; There is usually one promotion e.g. Analyst to Snr Analyst for most; Benefits could be better; very low salaries compared to elsewhere, weird work relations in smaller locations with people extremely touchy going directly to HR; overtime over 40hr as work for free and expected when client needs it. Happiness for staying employed should suffice. Planning not too smooth as for bench e.g. hitting bench even though a week earlier there was a demand for your skills for a next project; take vacation when it suits cgi even if it does not make any sense and use for you

Cons

- Company makes too many promises to Clients and Employees it does not keep. - Pay is poor compared to same job with other companies - Hardly any opportunity for career advancement - Depending on project the work/life balance doesn't exist - Upper management is always talking about how the financial status of the company is higher than expected but employees don't see any reward for their hard work. -Most projects are understaffed
