Pros

Just by the sheer limit of tech jobs in Southwest Virginia, CGI is really only one of two options. If you can't find anything better elsewhere, you might come here.

Cons

Expectations are high, training on meeting those expectations are low. Promotions are given to those who have no leadership experience and it shows. Morale is horrible. Bonuses are treated unfairly. Weekends and late nights are expected and you're expected to be in the office, but "flex" time and working from home was promised in the beginning. Salaries and raises are pitiful. I could go on...

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.
