Pros

Hey they send a $30 gift if a child is born

Cons

I did work for one consultant organisation before CGI. But CGI is more stingier. Hey Btw, even though they make money from english clients/countries, you can feel the underlying discrimination against those who do not know french fluently (in Montreal). Keep in mind the founders put in more "french requirement on employees" than the Quebec language police. - They won't know what you are working on for the client. - They won't bother about you/training/salary etc as long as you make money for them. They didn't hire me straight and train. A bank wanted someone to work for cheap, so they connected me for the interview call, and the rest is you work for the bank, whereas CGI does not invest in your career growth. You are the remote resource for the bank/client. CGI had a sentence "We will fund for your training, however if you quit within 2 years after getting the certification, you have to reimburse" - I never took the training, cause I'm not sure I would want to stay. I think the whole industry is moving in the direction of "I want pre-trained people that I don't want to care for, I'll pay pittance and overwork them".
