Pros

On the surface: good set of values, many clients, wide range of expertise needed. However this company is managed like a holding (for share price). As such, it is better for financial analysts with a little IT experience than for IT specialists looking for growth, and diverse training.

Cons

Published values not respected from upper management and down the chain. No IT leadership as this company follows the train and is mostly for "body" placement. Very little empowerment of employees as decisions power is kept at the top with little delegation thru the ranks (middle management and employees). Management structure changes frequently. Very weak HR function with few described roles and responsibilties. No ombudsman to enforce sound management practices. Training is hard to come by. On the whole, a large company managed like a small one.

Pros

- Great work/life balance and very flexible time-wise - Laid back culture - Management trusts you to get the work done and doesn't micro-manage your activities, even if you're entry level - Directors are open and accessible to talk to - A fair amount of responsibility from the get-go - Good amount of client interaction and responsibility on the projects - Competitive pay and benefits at the onset

Cons

- No established training program; need to learn necessary software pretty much on your own - No pre-determined career path; a positive for some, but others like a more clear direction of growth, while at CGI you can pretty much stay at the same level for several years if you nobody above you steps down or you don't specifically request to be transferred to a different project - The laid back culture may be too relaxed for some - Projects can be repetitive and boring at times
