Pros

great place to work after college. lots of young staff and a general fun environment. opportunities to move around different projects will keep you busy.

Cons

at times can be extremely slow and boring. general lack of information sharing. tough to learn new things when it seems that there is no central place to learn other than getting thrown into everything. a lot of reinventing the wheel goes on in this company due to projects not sharing anything between each other. steps are being taken to create central points for knowledge sharing.

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.
