CGI reviews

-Management is non existent. I’ve been here a year and had two conversations with my manager -Only interested in profits and poor service to their clients. Been in meetings where we have been asked to provide contacts who we can sell services to (I’m a developer! Why am I being asked this?!) -Stability is questionable. I’ll be moved off my current contract soon (even though it’s not ending, they want it all offshore to be cheaper) and I have to apply for other jobs while having a job at CGI or face redundancy if I can’t get one. -Poor pay -No development support -I work on a team with offshore developers who get paid less than me and have to work longer hours. It’s disgusting and exploitative. Be very wary of how things operate here before applying.

1) Terrible/ unethical process when on the bench. You’re made redundant if you’re in the bench for more than 8 weeks! This is very stressful, demeaning and just down right wrong. It also negates the fact that you’re a permanent employee and treats you as a temporary staff. It’s the number 1 reason I left the firm. 2) Promotions are non existent. You can get a promotion but won’t get a pay rise. There are people who have been at the firm for 4 years with 2 promotions but still on entry level pay. 3) Culture at the firm is just not meant for someone ambitious to grow. You will stagnate in your career at CGI.
