Pros

Very flexible company that is very respectful to all its members. They also have training on a regular basis that you can sign up for with approval from your manager. It's important to attend all the ones you can so when you project is up it'll be easier for you to find placement. They are also very understanding to your need if you need to work from home or step out of the office for a second. All in all the people are nice and the company is great. I would recommend them to any college newhire looking for a job.

Cons

Compensation isn't competitive and there any many chances to learn new technology. Some people also abuse the freedom they are given. They also do not plan well around project close outs as it's easy to be laid off if they don't find you an assignment three weeks after, with that said it's important to network within the company so when you time is up you have a lot of people that will have you back to make sure you are still apart of the company. Also it's easy to get 100% travel projects all in a row; however, more travel models are good.

Pros

You get to try a lot of different things because of the multiple projects.

Cons

Billing per hour model not always optimal for best solution. Not the same satisfaction as when projects are well handled in terms of what is delivered.

Pros

Great people. The management understands you have a personal life and is willing to work with you to find the best schedule for you. It's project-based work, so busy times can be very busy, but downtimes are a great opportunity to recharge and retool using many of CGI's knowledge resources. The management also is willing to work to retain good people. I earned an out-of-cycle pay raise by producing good results and some luck. CGI was re-evaluating salaries and trying to stay competitive in the market.

Cons

Depending on your project, you may be working with the same client for a long time. My job almost seemed like I was part of an outsourcing team.
