Pros

I really like the work atmosphere and people I work with at CGI. Although I cannot speak from personal experience, I get the impression that other similar consulting companies (Accenture, Booz Allen, ect.) are more demanding of their employees. At CGI, things seem a little more relaxed. I typically work 40 hours a week, and have all my weekends off (of course there have been a few exceptions to this rule). Also, the people that I work with are great. They are smart and work hard, but are also fun and easy to get along with. I also think the work we do is interesting. I think the benefits are really good overall - however, the 401k match could be improved. Finally, the company seems to be doing fairly well.

Cons

The pay might be a little less then some of the more demanding companies I mentioned above; however, I still feel I'm paid a good salary.

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.
