Pros

Good pension benefits, met some nice people, good grad scheme

Cons

Bad pay for the amount of work, quite often you have to work on weekends/overtime in the evenings. They used Bell Curve Method of Performance which means many of your colleagues treat you like an enemy. There's no team spirit. The company uses really old methodology/waterfall development. There's a lack of senior software engineers/people with medium amount of experience. Most people are either really junior or senior manager/architect level. The company is also very hierarchical. Talking to the boss of your boss is frowned upon. Finally, since it's an IT consultancy you can be sent to a city you don't want to live in unless you can find a role in your area, you can also be forced to do a job you don't want.

High turnover

Pros

CGI offers many good benefits, like matching 401K and profit sharing. Also, they have kept the healthcare costs low, which has been a big help. It is a good place to start and receive a government clearance.

Cons

The turnover where I am is very high due to low pay and the amount of leave you accrue is very low compared to other private section positions. There are no annual increases.
