Pros

Stability is the only reason to keep a job for this company, Other than that the location is good in the montreal area.

Cons

Salary is horrible, there is absoulety no incentive for working harder than your peers. You have to fight to keep your job balanced, any people that say "Yes" to management usualy end up on burn out or quit within a few months. Your just a number here and your deeds will go unnoticed. In our building your not allowed to have "jeans" day. There are no bonuses.

Pros

Theoretically, there are lots of opportunities. But once you start in one are, it's basically impossible to redirect your career.

Cons

Regardless of whether you are an average performer or a star, salary and recognition won't change. Once you are good at something, they will only make you do that. No effort on providing employees with career growth opportunities. Employee satisfaction and recognition just does not seem to be a priority.

Pros

CGI Group (CGI) acquired American Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) in May 2004. For approximately 2 years, the United States division was known as CGI-AMS (as a way to continue the brand loyalty of AMS clients). Right before AMS was acquired (at the time, CGI tried to sell it to AMS employees as a "merger" - no one bought that), the morale at AMS was poor. For awhile after the acquisition, the morale among former AMS employees went down. This is pretty standard. Over the years, there has been some improvement in making the former AMS employees feel as if they belong to the company, but for the most part, people still think of themselves as "AMSers". This doesn't seem to get in the way of everyone working together to get the job done.

Cons

As with most firms, different people have different experiences. I wouldn't disuade anyone from applying to CGI.
