Pros

Management systems are well developed and probably the other business units apart from central government are not as bad. Some good people but pockets of unscrupulous cynicism that go unchecked as long as earnings on target.

Cons

Thrown in the deep end and used as fodder in the most cynical way imaginable. Disastrous knowledge transfer from an incumbent supplier after CGI won a central government contract they didn’t understand fully. Delivery managers just look after themselves and recruit contractors using third party agencies to back-fill after they burn through CGI employees rather than addressing structural issues. Well it gave me PTSD.

Pros

Work with presitge clients and systems.

Cons

Despite stating they are one of the top companies to work for if you're disabled, that tends to focus on physical ailments rather than mental health conditions. Because of national security concerns, it feels like one cannot ask for reasonable adjustments like a quieter work environment or having one's back to a wall instead of a loud, open-plan office. When I did start breaking down despite trying to hold it together, I had my security clearance suspended to essentially wash their hands of me.

Pros

I cannot think of one pro when working for this company, unless you live outside of Wales then don't bother.

Cons

If you live in Wales you are required to come into the office, travelling to the office costs money due to the fact it is in such an awkward location. If you live in England, or Scotland you do not have to come into the office. People who are hired in Wales, England, and Scotland all get paid the same amount of money even though employees in Wales have to pay for travel which is expensive. If you tell your manager you currently cannot afford this, they will fire you. The managers are just chosen at random and they do not care for individuals at all. They hire only hire black people to meet their equal opportunity quota.
