Pros

There is a large workforce so there is relative job stability. It is fairly easy to get time off when you need it considering it is a consulting company. They have some good clients like the city, state, and federal governments. There is the possibility of taking online training classes. Depending on the management they are relatively easy to approach if necessary. They have a nice party 2 times a year, a company wide "Town Hall" meeting at Chelsea Piers and a holiday party some time in late February, although i am not quite sure what makes that a Holiday party.

Cons

There is relatively low career development. Promotions if they come seem to come around the 6 or 7 year mark with exceptions. Promotions do not necessarily come with raises. There is relatively low profit sharing if there is any at all. There are no yearly bonuses. Salary raises are in the 3 % range not to top 5%. They claim there is a class stipend for each employee but this money is relatively hard to obtain. Training is almost never granted since it possibly effects your work schedule or availability. Once you are on a project, you are most likely stuck there forever, or until you are no longer needed. It is hard to change projects.

Pros

It seems like a good way to enter this field. Entry level salary is competitive but not likely to increase with experience. The company has a wide variety of products and has consistently high level of client satisfaction.

Cons

Little chance for advancement. Management is disorganized. Extremely weak leadership. Low levels of internal consistency. Management prefers outdated command and control management style.

Pros

Great people. The management understands you have a personal life and is willing to work with you to find the best schedule for you. It's project-based work, so busy times can be very busy, but downtimes are a great opportunity to recharge and retool using many of CGI's knowledge resources. The management also is willing to work to retain good people. I earned an out-of-cycle pay raise by producing good results and some luck. CGI was re-evaluating salaries and trying to stay competitive in the market.

Cons

Depending on your project, you may be working with the same client for a long time. My job almost seemed like I was part of an outsourcing team.
