Pros

They dont really think that highly of you, thus you dont get that much work. Simple work, nothing hard, always give you instructions on what to do. Thus, you have even more time to just do whatever you want since nothing is hard. Good benefits for people with families

Cons

no career growth opportunities. From seeing the environment here, this is a place you want to be where you only care about making money and supporting a family. For younger people like myself, be prepared to use 10 year old technology, and others which make you laugh when your manager says there are a lot of career growth opportunities. Salary was low, but after being here for a bit, understandable why. Manager has constantly asked me to stay after work hours to work, has asked me to stay on weekends every now and then, as well as told me to eat as little as possible as time is valuable. With literally barely any work given, why on earth do I need to put in all of those extra hours? When he asked me to come in on the weekend, he told me yeah you'll probably just be sitting on your computer doing nothing always but i still want you to come in. For the love of all that is good, stay away and pray for me that I can find a job soon so I can shove a big fat resignation letter with "I quit" in a font size of 72.

Pros

Company shares Good benefits Location close to metro Social club ?????

Cons

Company watches your every move. Be prepared to justify how much time you work on a project. Need to explain why take long when going to the bathroom even if you have a medical condition. More than 6 minutes away from your post as a helpdesk consultant you will get reprimanded. If you work Christmas Eve they will allow you to leave at 12:00pm but need to use your overtime / vacation time. The only company I've worked for that asks to use your banked hours to leave early on xmas eve. Ebenezer is running the company. Opportunities only for employees that know how to lick the right hands. No one smiles anymore at their job. Everybody is looking out for themselves & don't care who they step on to get to the top. Once you reach 7-8 years service with company they will demote & try to make your life difficult in order to force you to quit ,if you don't quit they will lay you off & tell you that you are part of restructuring in order to higher from external at lower salary.

Pros

Everything's routine if you like that type of work. As long as you comply with rules and regulations, work hard, and have a good attitude it's good!!

Cons

If you're looking to move up on a company CGI is not the place. The pay isn't the best.
