Pros

* Easy work * Easy to get along with coworkers - has an 8 hour policy per week for self study but good luck using it with all your other tasks. -lots of different leaves

Cons

* Enormous amount of corporate BS, looking good is more important than being good. * Terrible directors/managers and management, layoffs all the time. Pay attention, it's quite literally the cookie cutter layoff story and corporate red flags. -no bench policy -incompetent hr -disrespectful of time and expectations, especially for interviews and after hours -weak ability to advance, learn, get raise -return to office mandate all the seniors and directors love, but makes no sense and has huge impact on upper management liking you. - you will get cut immediately and with little notice -weak culture of bringing up junior employees, you will always hear "hit the ground running". -low PTO cap compared to every other company that only raises cap by seniority. Otherwise mandated pto -knowledge siloed into overworked, older employees that have no time to train

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.
