Pros

CGI is a great place to start a career. Hard work doesn't go unnoticed and it is easy to move up the ladder in terms of responsibilities.

Cons

Management is an old boys club. They are not proactive about employee retention. Rather, they won't properly compensate you unless you get an offer from another company. The sales managers throw the technical staff under the bus by selling technologies that no one has experience with. Forget about training.

Pros

Office layout and location - Really good! Can do remote work (if that is what you want), Exposure to different client environement

Cons

there is a limited growth space available for an individual, and the technology advance possibility is also limited, and the project not that deep Management considers that aiming at an increase of x% in revenues and (or) profits - without a clear view of how it will be achieved - is a 'plan'. Excellent salaries for VP and some directors, anything below is peanut pay. Negotiate hard for a good salary during your job interview because salary are next to NIL and profit sharing is only for VP s No pension Plan
