Pros

Working from home, share purchase plan, reasonable benefits package. If u get good group u may survive for a while until u run out of projects.. Then comes the big AXE to chop u in the name of lay offs... God save this company for those have a family.. To feed and survive.

Cons

Off shore hiring to replace Canadian staff who are naturally paid to Canadian competitive rate. They never feel bad about chopping staff as they wish... Promotion based on who is the best liker... If you dance according to the directors tune.. U r survival is guaranteed...

Pros

CGI was a dream opportunity for me. The recruiter was excellent. Great customer service. Very supportive and informative. I felt fairly compensated.

Cons

I have never experienced such awful and punitive management, nor such a cut throat environment. There is no understanding of what it means to be a team. ‘Trust me” they say and then they stab you in the back. Realizing that a company of this size has effective leaders, but I didn’t see it. HR is ineffective and non-existent. For an IT company their internal systems are unstable.
