Pros

Work from home and be totally disconnected from people

Cons

Too many to list but here are a few Lack of actual project work is unbelievable, you end up doing change work which is basically support so forget working on a nice project end to end. No chain of command So called People Managers don't seem to do anything to help manage people or us but don't blame them as the role is new and they probably have not been trained to do the job. Empty promises to do some interesting work and progress career, apparently loads of work but doing crap mostly. Annual reviews are pointless and who wants to hear you "Meet Expectation". Demotivates everyone. Recent changes to Overtime mean you can't survive on the very average salary on offer. No real payrises in 3 years, less than 1%. If you are really desperate for a job go for it.

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.
