Pros

-Decent place to start career with variety of opportunities -Fairly flexible hours and day to day workflow -Generally good people to work with on complex issues which allows one to gain experience quickly

Cons

-Business is clearly drying up with way less growth than before -Hiring is tight yet workloads are higher than ever -Training is non existent, but still expecting everyone to know a million new things that they may never use in day to day work -“Teams” are scattered across provinces and cities to save money and pay people less -Long term outlook is clearly bleak but being downplayed by management -Encouraging people to be in office even though “teams” are never in the office on the same days -Office is louder than ever due to constant virtual meetings and work

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
