Pros

Still some flexibility with work location and hours

Cons

Management changes at every level have destroyed employee morale. VP level managers are extremely poor communicators. They make unrealistic demands without providing anything close to proper support. They reduce or remove elements that make project teams successful and expect more to be produced. There is no support anymore, just demands. Once project teams are successful, there is zero acknowledgement or thanks. Raises do not take into account any changes in the market or economy. You must leave and come back to increase your compensation. Bonus (or PPP as they call it) are wildly inconsistent and have been reduced over the last 5 years when given.

Pros

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Cons

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.

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.
