Pros

Soke hot birds. That's the only pro. But that's central London!

Cons

Impossible workloads. Management are cut-throat. Useless. Liars. Big liars. No progression. Spend all your time cleaning up someone else's mess. Crap systems. Expected to work 70 hour weeks as normal with no extra pay or time off at all. Lied to to get into the job. 4 diff managers in the space of 9 months. They kept quitting due to high stress and doing crap work. Arrogant management. Power hungry. Don't believe anything they tell you.

CGI now part of Logica

Pros

CGI used to be a great company to work for in terms of its culture, values and common goals for all. I'm sure this culture and values are present in North America however it is certainly not the case in Asia Pacific. The share purchase plan is very attractive and generally the employment conditions of CGI are good - the culture of ownership is very strong from Canadian management.

Cons

the culture of Logica has taken over the Asia Pacific BU and the company has gone from a culture of everyone working together towards common goals to becoming an everyone for themselves mentality, this is having terribly negative impact on staff morale.

Pros

If you can wear multiple hats both technically and professionally you will fit in with this company. Don't get confortable though, because this company will drop anyone at the drop of a hat if you do not fit into their current plans, fail to meet ambiguous quotas, make too much money, or don't fit into their "culture".

Cons

Prepare yourself for culture shock and double speak. While the company proudly proclaims it's success is due to the equal balance of interests between the three major stake holders (the share holder, the client, and the employee) the real focus is almost entirely on making money, so the share holder benefits the most, the clients come in a distant second, and the employees are left to sink or swim in the last place in the pecking order.
