      decent place to start, not a great place to stay

      Pros

      It's a good place to start off if you'd like a company with name recognition. Other than that I wouldn't stay here longer than you have to.

      Cons

      lack of recognition, management is not up to par. Unless you are a lifer, you'll never see any advancement, but really who wants to put in 30+ years to move up 3 or 4 levels, you'll just become another part of the useless middle management. They say you should feel like an owner of the company, I guess they forgot to mention that to everyone they laid off. Management should really look at who is actually bringing in revenue and not who's the easiest to get rid of.

      From Private Sector to Public Sector

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable company for a consulting firm. Because it is publicly traded does not have the up or out philosophy of consulting partnership. Working for federal clients also allows for great hours. basically 9-5 on most projects. Most projects are long-term engagements typically lasting 1+ years. It is not all body shop - augmentation work as i have been involved in a couple of strategic short-term projects over my short stint here. But Most work is implementation/outsourcing IT work. I find most people at this company are more humble and less competitive(negative competition that leads to backstabbing)than at my previous employer.(Deloitte Consulting) and the company has a more flexible culture than my other previous employer.(IBM Consulting).

      Cons

      I come from a private sector consulting background so i find the hours that i have experienced so far at CGI to be rather pleasant. After working for companies who along with the client expected 60+ hour work weeks plush travel, it is rather refreshing working for a company where 40 hour work weeks is the norm. The low margins involved with government work are also reflected in the lower pay as compared to our private sector counterparts. But it is a personal decision to take less money for a better work-life balance. It's a decision that i decided to make and i'm quite happy with.

      Good Company to work for.

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary ,a great place to learn and to start your career.A very relaxed and friendly environment most of the time. Great health benefits and other interesting ones. A great place to make a name for yourself. Free coffee.

      Cons

      Lack of communication; sometimes poor leadership and blind trust in dishonest people and negligance towards hard working people. Stressful environment. There is some bad planning and poor trainning. It is also a relaxed environment but some people take advantage of it. There should be more discipline but by adding balance not by turning into a sweat shop.
