Pros

The staff that benefit are the upwards managers.

Cons

Only 3 of 15 project managers who have reviewed so far would recommend this company to their friends. This sums it up. For PM processes this is the worst I have seen. The PMs have no authority to provide quotes for any amount without a directors approval. I can't purchase any project item for any amount without director's approval. The delegated authorities I once had at Logica are all gone. The director takes credit for all my work. I have all the responsibility and accountability and none of the authority to do my job. The management obtain huge bonuses if we reach targets. Strange the bonuses for VPs are 85% cash and 15% stock. If such a great company wouldn't it be other way around? Staff bonuses are a silver of what managers get. 60% of staff bonus in shares, only if you salary sacrifice for some. No dividends because profits used for management bonuses.

Pros

CGI is a large company with enough money to operate well into the future. Because of the size, individual impact is low, making job security high as well as having a structure that makes it easy to have a long term career given your desire to be complacent with slow growth and managed responsibilities.

Cons

Because of the large business, getting noticed as a top performer is a painful process. You have to be good and put in your time. The jobs are often boring and they tend to pigeonhole individuals to suit the business needs even if that person is a rockstar.

Pros

Employee friendliness, work life balance.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities, too many HR employees for very few employees (highest i have seen in my career), very bad with tools and automation of internal processes, most of these tools are not integrated and with logica acquisition the situation has gotten worse.
