Pros
The company is ever changing and it puts value in its members that deliver. It is a very large company that is trying to become a global leader. Its strategy of keeping a local focus works. There is a focus on each member's well being. Personally I enjoyed the Oxegen program, an employee wellness program, where member can go to the gym during lunch. There are also seminars where member can get to know more about healthier living. The montreal office being downtown is easy to get to by public transportation. It is a company with solid management, and generally make the right decisions.
Cons
Managers are consistently changing. Re-orgs are porly done. Your enjoyment of the company depends on the department you are in. The salary renumeration is poor. If you are joining CGI for competative salaries, please look elsewhere. Once in, it is difficult to achieve significant salary increases. You are best to leave CGI work for another company then come back, as any salary increase over 10% requires the approval of the CEO. An ackward position to be in for a member who has peformed and a manger that believes in his employee. as per fairness and respect, it is all depentant on who you get, like any company. Career opportunities are fine if you are new to the business. A seasoned expert will be out of luck.
