CGI reviews

CGI UK hires people in anticipation of contracts they haven’t secured yet. If those deals fall through, you’ll be let go with little support. Their touted “flexible” and “remote” working policies are mostly superficial, your work location is dictated entirely by client demands, especially if you have a high-level clearance. Promises made during recruitment about development, support, or inclusivity often don’t materialize. Adjustments for disability or neurodiversity are dismissed by middle management because they’re seen as a cost liability to the client. Career progression is non-existent; you’re a resource to be billed, not a professional to be developed. Turnover is high most people leave within 1–2 years. If you’re mid-career and looking for a place to grow, this place will likely stall your development. CGI is focused on contract wins and billing hours, not on investing in its people.

- Management is awful. They will ask you for feedback and if you offer any constructive criticism they will argue with you and get defensive. Excuse me, you asked for feedback and your employees are doing you a favor whenever they respond. Clearly you are too insecure to be able to receive anything constructive and that's why you only want 'yes men' to work for you. They don't care about your aspirations. They only care about the bottom line. They can't even admit it because they are in denial. Absolutely delusional. Bismillah. - This is a great place to get brunt out. There might be some projects where things are good, I wouldn't know. - The teams are so insanely dysfunctional. There is so much potential for something great to be made but the projects I've been on have suffered from terrible mistakes made by the company. (Not hiring the right people, poor leadership, no training, etc...)
