Business Outlook

Pros

Great work life balance, I was satisifed with my salary, and the people were great! This is a great company to get your feet wet with a consulting firm, or a business analsyt role.

Cons

For me it was difficult to alway wonder where my next role would come from. It might not be a con to everyone but for me I needed more job security. Also, my manager had been with CGI for 20 years and was just a Senior Consultant, so that turned me off as far as advancement opprotunity. Let's face it, this job is a stepping stone unless you actually live in Fairfax. I would come back to CGI in the future if we win bigger and longer contracts in Atlanta. CGI Federal has very small footprint in Atlanta.

They have customers with whom CGI has long term commitments , really good HR policies , and most of the people u will find are long timers, signifying the care that the company takes for its employees. Salary increment is awesome and is one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Need to have projects that are based on new technology , training facility for members , specially the technical one , needs to be given more attention. Onsite opportunity is limited.
