Pros

Good place to START a career and to maybe end one. For those who are coming right out of college it's a good place to learn the skills you'll need to start a career in a corporate setting. The people (depending on what team you're on) are also welling to lend a hand to help you learn and understand your work.

Cons

Upward mobility is almost non existent. The Troy Offices are quickly becoming nothing more then a call center with only a few business analysts and Technical works still working there. Pay is FAR bellow market value and management does not seem to care. Management says Work/Life balance is important to them but some jobs require 12+ hour work days for months on end, leaving NO room for work/life balance.

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.
