Good for freshers

Pros

CGI gives lot of benefits to employees including bonus at the end of the year and diwali gift( pretty decent ones). There are ample of opportunities to learn things specially for freshers. Regarding policies: CGI is an employee friendly company. It allows employees to work from home, there use to be Member satisfaction programs where feedback is taken from employees regarding the work culture, compensation and benefits. If you are not satisfied with something or need any improvement, this is a best and effective way to communicate directly to your manager. Apart from it, a skip level meeting is being conducted once in a year with higher management. Policies are transparent. Targets are tight and the company's growth is really aggressive.

Cons

Even being 5th largest IT service provider, CGI doesn't give salary and compensation structure of CGI is too stoic. It doesn't pay as per market standards. People have to work 9 hours a day and additional half an hour for client commitment.

Pros

Lots of work. Never boring. I was always busy sometimes to the tune of 90 hours a week. If you work in Canada, it is not a bad deal.

Cons

company values only money. they will work you to death for a profit and dump you when the project is done. No concern for people or their families at all.

Pros

Slightly higher pay than that in comparable jobs in area as result of stipulation by the Federal Government Department letting the contract to this Contractor specializing in administrative services. Mostly able supervisors, although they were / presumably remain under pressure to generate production quantity / quotas even while theoretically maintaining Mission Statement's "highest product quality". Proficient co-workers. Modern, pleasant physical work environment.

Cons

When - not if - flaws are discovered / obviously revealed unfortunately the blame flows directly from the very top to the very bottom of the organizational hierarchy with dire consequence for the base employee, with no credible effort made to explore, much less institute, possible, reasonable procedural adjustment(s) in order to mitigate future exposure to repetition of such. C G I's obsessive concern with simply retaining Federal contract(s) deters any willingness to consider / explore / propose reasonable, much less innovative / flexible, approach(s) toward enhancing the overall value of the service product it is providing. In fact C G I simply magnifies the extant Federal bureaucratic rigidity by imposing an additional layer of its own requirements above and beyond the Federal Department's as a means of providing procedural insulation for itself.
