Pros
CGI seems to have it going on when it comes to technology -- far better than DoD (previous employer). While i hate the fact that they make some of us move to certain areas, it is good that some people can stay where they are and work remotely. CGI does provide us with some great training -- that is actually beneficial -- you will never be bored. I even have seen how my former employers could do things better if they would do things like CGI. CGI sees the benefit of things like LiveMeeting, InfoPath, and Messenger. I like the fact that CGI does Profit sharing as well (even though i currently don't take part).
Cons
You either are REALLY busy or have nothing to do -- there never seems to be happy medium. A lot of people sit on the bench before being assigned to a project. That means that they have nothing to do. If you have nothing to do, you still have to sit there for 8 hours. Another thing is that for some projects, you have down time of not hours or days but MONTHS. And the worst thing is that before we get comp time, we have to go over by 15 hours. Essentially we are giving CGI 15 hours of our time every pay period. That is awful. I could understand five or six -- but 15?
