CGI reviews

Uncompetitive Salary - Benefits are decent, but salary is horrendous. In times past, if you worked hard, kept your head down, and did more than you were asked, you could expect to be compensated accordingly. As much as CGI's claim to fame is culture, the sad fact is that there culture is eerily similar to most corporations. If you let them, they'll will squeeze you for every drop you've got and tell you "if you keep working hard, you might just get that raise you've waited 5 years for" Poor Worklife Balance - This may depend on the BU but as I mentioned in one of the pros, CGI does not have boundaries when it comes to your personal life. Every project, no matter how small, is life and death and they expect you to sacrifice time with family and your personal life to support the cause. Set boundaries early or you can expect traveling on holidays. Poor Executive Team - As most companies have, the Executives are skilled at political speech. They don't address real issues, use fluffed up language to redirect, and care more about shareholders than 'members'. There is also a huge disconnect between Executives and upper Management. At that demarcation, you become a number, not a person or valuable team member. Even if your VP, Manager, etc., want that raise you deserve, even they can't get that money

1) All about billable hours, if you are not billable then they terminate you without any help on landing projects. 2) Career development very ambiguous. 3) No dedicated business development. It is up to the consultant to find new opportunities.
