some upper mgmt (Director and VP levels) are too full of themselves, and need to watch their language in front of others (very unprofessional)

Great success story but much room for improvement

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Autonomy, intrapreneurship, huge challenges, very client focussed, excellent financial management of company, internal politics are not day to day headaches: metrics are clear

Cons

year after year top execs fail to translate the excellent messages to employees into actions; turnover metrics mislead: the published numbers are low but mask the failure to build and maintain entreprise knowledge; power seems to gravitate towards ex-Bell executives; too many headhunters are not impressed with the value of CGI experience

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The software development team is small but friendly. There's very little big ego that you had to deal with in other development teams.

Cons

The corporate headquarters is not always sympathetic to the needs of the small business units. It should also provide more support to individual business units in terms of marketing and other resources.
