Pros

CGI is a very great company to work for at the start of your career or in the middle. Workplace culture is very friendly and open. They allow you to work from home however much you want. They have flex time So you can work up to 8 hours extra one week then get the same amount of hours off the next week. The medical benefits are pretty good. The vast majority of the health insurance premium is paid for And you are covered day one no worries about starting at beginning of a month and waiting a month for coverage. They have a social club that's throws parties. The holidays are floating holidays so you can use it just as vacation time.

Cons

The natural career transition from Junior dev to middle tier dev is difficult to happen at CGI (in 2022). If you are a junior dev have plans to refresh your resume and start job hunting after around two years here. Have coworker with 3 years more dev experience than me making only a few thousand more than me a jr dev. I guess the turnover of good coding coworkers is another con from this. If you are coming to CGI for a senior position It's also a good place. The 401k match is also lack luster. Used to be a 50% match on up to 3% now it's a 50% match on up to 5%. So it's gotten better but not much.

Pros

Great people to work around if you like to get to know your team/s. Decent benefits including average of 2-3 weeks of PTO Plenty of resources for learning Good for those who have been in a field for a long time or if you're just getting started.

Cons

For most companies, the typical work day is 9-6 or 8-5 depending when you start, or if you take a lunch, but at CGI you will work much more than 40 hours on any given week. Not to say this is a "bad" thing, but they will pay you less than your worth and work you to squeeze whatever they can out of you. Definitely favors those who have worked there longer and upward mobility has more to do with job title than anything. They will most likely make you do things that are not in the job title. In reality, you are on call 24/7. They are a classic value company so will pay you on the lower end of any salary range, if not less than the industry average. Management can be oblivious of the issues and turnover is high. I believe the people were the best part, but the company/management can be unforgiving at times.
