CGI reviews

You may be hired to perform a specific role, but you may be forced to do a different job. An extremely disorganized company. They hire people with a determined expertise, but put them into random jobs, without worrying whether the employee will suit the job. They take any project from a huge range of technologies, even if they do not have people trained to do them. The company has many project managers who do not know simple management structures, serving only as messengers or intermediaries between the client and the technical side. Especially for software developers, there is no concern about the quality of the code, what generates bad products and that does not cooperate for a good training and work experience for the developers.

For a major tech company they are very antiquated. Only one direct deposit account allowed (every other company i have ever worked for allowed multiple), for any tax changes i had to print a paper and fax it in. They really seemed to jave no clue how to run a whole IT department. They have always come in and done some of the IT but never taken over a whole IT department. Being Canadian they have no business doing any Federal contract work that deals with classified info. Management has no clue what the actual workers do.
