Pros

It is a rising IT Consulting firm looking to compete against the big boys. This means more immediate career opportunity than working for firms like Accenture or Booz Allen but it also means the culture suffers a bit from an inferiority complex. If you're looking to grow your career quickly at a reputable firm then CGI might be the right choice.

Cons

The cost cutting culture affects day to day life by sucking some of the fun out of the environment. When compared to non-consulting examples (Google, Microsoft, etc) thing seem drab and boring. It wouldn't hurt to spend a few dollars here and there making the overall day-to-day office life a bit more enjoyable.

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.
