CGI reviews

They bought my previous company and are slowly taking us all off our clients so they can take out client projects and give them to their junior consultants. We are too expensive for them so they are slowly trying to get rid of us. If you are off client for over 8 weeks they will serve you notice and end your contract. I have received very little support from them through this time. - their systems are very old and legacy and you have to log in multiple times to get access - they have very little career framework support - the management system is very confusing - the share scheme is a scam and leads to people not receiving their money - they underpay their consultants by quite a large marge but then won't allow you apply for clients if they don't make more than 30% on you. - they rushed the purchase of our company leading to little satisfaction and a half done job of us moving over leading to stress and anxiety from many employees. - also they gift us useless crap to pretend they care.

CGI forces you to get health insurance with them, doesn't pay for all of it, and makes you choose between plans that take up most of your paycheck, or plans that have $3,000 deductibles, something I would never meet in a typical year, meaning the basically pays for nothing. They make you use Paid Time Off even if you are told not to come to work for weather related reasons, and this year for Juneteenth, even though it was a federal holiday and the entire facility was closed, they made us use PTO for that, too. They give you zero sick time, and if you need sick time off you either use PTO or Leave Without Pay, which they only give you a small amount of, and if you use all of that in a year you get fired. They pay very low wages and sometimes it's up to 6 years before you get any kind of raise at all. They force you to do overtime on weekends even though for direct employees of the client, overtime is optional. All this is just the tip of the iceberg. They just generally show a blatant disregard for contractor employees, treating them as mere resources to be exploited.
