CGI reviews

Lousy benefits, no pension, no bonuses, and salary increases are a joke. Many times those who are promoted are men and are from Montreal. This is frustrating since most do not know what they are doing, in my opinion. There are too many layers as well; from architects to project management, to projects, to operations. The customers suffer because it takes much too much time to get the work done. There are also a lot of incompetent people in the company. Many good people have been terminated due to downsizing/reorganizations, but the incompentent ones always remain. The customers are not as happy with the service as they could be.

- HR does not take grievances seriously and knowingly takes no action to safeguard staff - extreme KPI fixation: it is very strongly suggest that staff should only rate their employee experience as high to avoid having their SLTs bonuses impacted - directors pushed to set up ‘ghost’ meetings with clients to satisfy pointless metrics - extreme top-down hierarchy and punishment culture. - employees told off for raising genuine concerns in public forums - employees told to ‘hunt their own food’ when on the bench while a clock counts down towards their termination - archaic internal platforms that makes doing your job insufferable - multiple platforms to raise tickets, tickets passed from department to departement - no ability to speak to a real person to resolve administrative issues - extremely poor pay and compensation framework which is claimed to be aligned to market - little to no progresion opportunities - unable to challenge leadership or ask simple questions without fear of retaliation - directors are overloaded with responsibilities, compounded by poor internal systems, constant metric-chasing, having to deliver on client to a high percentage of your time, managing responsibilities for far too many people people, and business development quotas - feedback to management brushed off and dismissed - role frameworks very obviously written by AI - excessive, sickly toxic positivity projected by SLT
