I hear raises are hard, but if you know what you are doing and are competent you can get them.

Pros

Its work. the SPP plan is nice, buts standard. standard benefits package. there really isnt anything to special about CGI. Seriously im really indifferent about the company, I am sure that differnet Business units will have different ups and downs, however there isnt really anything that great, or bad. The social group is good i guess. nothing too special though. really indifferent to the whole process, lots of junior folks, but i have stepped up, and am being compensated for that. good learning experience and better than working at keane.

Cons

Nothing too exciting, its a business process management company. It might get an accountant excited, but really. its pretty dry stuff.
