Pros

New low-end laptop every 4 years. Some people get a 21inch CRT but with a doctor's note you can get a 17 inch LCD. Also, if you have a doctor's note you can get a comfortable chair.

Cons

Pay - bottom rung. Benefits - bottom 50% of industry. Raises - .5 to 1.5%. Stock is dead money so make sure to sell your stock purchase plan stock as soon as it enters your account. CGI has a dual-class share system so the company can never get bought out with an associated stock price jump. This company is a cash cow so it could have a very large dividend but instead it does not.

Pros

Decent benefits including good pension contributions (sell the shares quickly though as they’re plummeting in value)

Cons

You’re expected to fit into a box in the “career framework”, and apply to a panel to be promoted from one level to the next. It is like a parody of corporate culture. They aim to pay average compensation, so consistent good performance is rewarded by reduced pay rises. This results in most employees being average or worse. Internal systems and processes are stuck in the ‘80s. This makes basic tasks, e.g. filling in your timesheet, a nightmare. No support when you are “in between assignments”. It’s up to you to apply for your next role, or wait eight weeks to be made redundant. The sensible thing to do is take this time to apply elsewhere.

Pros

The pros depend on which BU you are assigned to. Most seem to be client focused and direct.

Cons

Lack of vision Silos of delivery Culture in some BUs is toxic Leaders have been overpromoted and will throw others under the bus to protect their career aspirations Client delivery in aome places is poor with multiple delays and no ability to pivot due to leaderships lack of ability to accept their own failures
