Pros

Work is varied, have to get on a good project to do something interesting. Culture is very relaxed, can start and leave when you want as long as the work is done. Benefits are great - share purchase plan, private healthcare, social club. Training is available for those who ask for it.

Cons

HR and IT support are atrocious, virtually impossible to get anything done. Pay is far below market average.

A real sweat shop

Pros

It's a shame that CGI still gets high profile government contracts. The work experience looks good on your resume.

Cons

CGI brings third world sweat shop conditions to the US. You cannot even expect to have a chair to sit in, much less a desk or network connection. If by chance you get a chair, a desk and a network jack; you have to sit 3-4 per cube. They expect you to work all hours of the day and night, and they will not allow you to bill actual work hours. Isn't that illegal in the US?

Pros

At this point no pros, used to be a good company,

Cons

Company is hiring only juniors at this time, to pay less. Highly educated people are hired for technician positions. Managers will crush you, only to make you leave, because you are paid too much. They will stop at nothing. No respect for the employees. No possibilities of advancement, unless you are plugged. All the 'dream', to enjoy working together, and we will respect you, and we are a team of builders, is just slogans. Management does not care about this at all. Once your salary gets into their radar, it is over for you. There is no limits to what they will make you go through, they will be wild animals, and they will devour you. It will be all absurd, and will make you wonder if you are actually in the 21st century, or you landed in the 19th century managed company. All this in the name of them keeping their highly paid jobs. They will call you a "doer" in-between closed doors. They are all above doing! All benefits are one by one going away, each year one less.
