Pros

Some good benefits and flexible with WFH (on current contract at least)

Cons

-Management is non existent. I’ve been here a year and had two conversations with my manager -Only interested in profits and poor service to their clients. Been in meetings where we have been asked to provide contacts who we can sell services to (I’m a developer! Why am I being asked this?!) -Stability is questionable. I’ll be moved off my current contract soon (even though it’s not ending, they want it all offshore to be cheaper) and I have to apply for other jobs while having a job at CGI or face redundancy if I can’t get one. -Poor pay -No development support -I work on a team with offshore developers who get paid less than me and have to work longer hours. It’s disgusting and exploitative. Be very wary of how things operate here before applying.

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.
