      Poor experience, Bell-like mess

      Project manager ( senior consultant)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Location is good; Share purchase plan is good; Flexibility of work; Can work from remote even permanently (if that is of interest)

      Cons

      Foremost downside? Poor processes, or better, too much process for everything. This company is cumbersome such as those gigantic, messy, nightmarish firms like Bell, HydroQC or alike. I worked for Bell too: CGI is just the same. Such a mess that you will never be able to get it right from the first time. You learn by making mistakes and that is ok because everybody here does. Your manager will understand, or maybe will not because the moment could be tough.

      Not a good place to get recognized for achievement.

      Pros

      The work environment is pretty flexible. You can come and go as you please as long as you put in your time.

      Cons

      Overtime is not allowed. You are forced to take time off instead. You can go literally years without so much as a cost of living raise, and if you do an outstanding job on anything do not expect to see a raise based on effort or merit.

      Stuck in the middle

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nothing comes to mind. It used to be a good place to work a few years ago.

      Cons

      There are quite a few "orphaned Bell employees" now working in CGI-CSB. On one hand, you can't win the development work because CGI wants to extract as much $ from the client as possible. On the other hand, the client is restructuring and knows they are being taken to the cleaners. The end result is that the systems development professionals get caught in the middle. To top it all off, they are also now determined to offshore the development work to India wherever possible!
