CGI reviews

hard to take back your banked time when YOU want to. Hiring freeze every year means you work like a dog to compensate the lack of staff for 3 months, then when targets are not met, they hire. Moving a lot of their Level 1 activities off-shore (read India - they call it best-shore!) to satisfy shareholders expectations and save (make) more money. Business-Unit are split up in a way that, even if you work as hard or harder than your colleague in another business-unit, you don't get a bonus (or a mediocre one). Some people get the flowers, others get the flower pot.

There are not too many avenues to widen one's skill area. Management style can be hierarchical and chage doesn't come by easily. Promotions usually tend to take a long time. Salaries for lateral hires are competitive but annual hikes leave a lot to be desired.
