Pros

tele-commute option for many positions, casual environment, travel if you want to client sites. There aren't a lot of good things that I can say about my employer. Filling this out reinforces how much I hate my job.

Cons

absurd number of hours expected, work/life balance difficult to maintain, project managers who are generally incomptent with software that is marginal quality. many managers, not many experienced staff and limited product knowledge, poor documentation. The expectation is to work 80+ hours, and it contributes to burn out along with bitterness between staff. It is time to move on toward a different career path with quality products and a better salary where employees are valued.

Pros

CGI offers an exciting work environment and welcoming innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. It is a competitive consulting company and brings many great consulting opportunities to its employees. The compensation and benefit package is competitive within the consulting industry. CGI also shows a strong sense of committment to its employees, and is dedicated to their professional and personal development. Overall, a great place to work.

Cons

As with any consulting company, the employee does not always have choice over the consulting contracts they are assigned. CGI does a good job of balancing this with the overall career and professional development objectives of the employee.

Pros

Flexible when required, Compensation is good. A lot of the people I work with are great. They are from all over the high tech community in Ottawa, and the skills some of these people are incredible.

Cons

Pay is lower than other opportunities for some skills. They lock you in to one project, even if you wish to move to others. They don't utilize the skills they have in their employees, many are wasted on trivial matters. They ignore some of the ideas and concepts of these skilled people because the upper managers dont want to appear less skilled.
