Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

Worst company I ever worked in my 18+ years of IT career. Poor Management and pathetic work environment. No respect for employees. Mental harassment by some long tenured incompetent management folks who makes disrespectful and personal comments in public, expect you to work as slave (12-14 hours each day) and force you to meet their unreasonable demands. Makes false promises during the hiring process. Lacks leadership and incapable of managing client expectations. Turnover is very high.

Pros

Used to have great people Staff were once treated as people instead of a number against a sheet

Cons

This company offers a terrible salary compared to the others in the area competing against them. Managers are very highly paid and totally inept at their jobs. The legacy managers left over from Logica have destroyed this company. CGI should have replaced them entirely when they had the chance. There is no training, ever. The "budget" is always there, but middle management refuse to allow staff to attend training. The forced "company improvement" internal training is some of the most painful hours I have ever spent clicking through an internal workbook. If you are unlucky enough to get put onto the support team ( which will be referenced as something entirely different in your job search), you might find yourself heading into a deep depression. The management here is worse than the management in the rest of the company, ignoring clear bullying of colleagues, inept employees and shocking time management. CGI are probably a great company to work for, unless you work in the UK. Then you have no hope. Just ask any former employee that wasn't at least a "level 3" manager.

CGI, a Logica Company

Pros

Share plan was quite generous, and there can be decent training options available if you pursue it with enough zeal.

Cons

In the Australia BU - since the Logica reverse takeover - there's been too many cons to mention. Staff treated with disdain and disrespect, no commitment to growth or to supporting Directors who could have made a difference. Running after bid responses without any planning or direction, plus having no idea how to co-ordinate staff or how to handle internal communication has created a mess. Top heavy with clueless middle and upper management who have no direction and no leadership. Company has no realistic pipeline and certainly lacks any decent sales people. The recent round of redundancies seemed to target the last remnants of the "heritage CGI" membership so that that mainly only ex-Logica staff remain. Anyone with any leadership has been drummed out - the reverse takeover is complete.
