Pros

Insurance on day 1, sick leave doesn't come out of employee "bank", unlimited sick leave available that company pays for... but beware, requires a doctor's note in order to use sick pay even if just out one day, or you have to use your PTO (still get occurrence), flex time, don't need a degree.

Cons

Not allowed to make up work hours, mandatory 8 hours overtime (even if took vacation day off or out sick, must still work the extra hours) every week pretty much since day one, training terrible, effective communication even worse, fellow employees act like they're 5 years old, animosity could be cut with a knife, no truly feeling valued at this job, terrible favoritism, no room for career advancement locally, hardly anyone has a degree, no drug testing and not much for a background check, people walking around with piercings from head to toes, tattoos also, rainbow bright multi-colored teenage colored hair on all, even grandmas... none of which is required to be covered. No professionalism at all from much of immediate leadership and some local management.

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
