Pros

Learned a lot since I handled different roles. Direct supervisor was very supportive. Working remotely when necessary was ok. Good working relationship with team you work with. Benefits are satisfactory. Salary could be better. When there’s lot of projects, all is good you feel you matter

Cons

Growing in the company was a challenge especially if you are someone who works hard and successful in your projects but the quiet and reserve type of person. Because you are quiet , they don’t see you at all even if you excel in your work. Promotion process system and salary increase determination is questionable - least in my department Once work slows down, I feel members are treated as numbers. Instead of taking advantage of the slow down for training and knowledge transfer, you are forced to take vacation or moved elsewhere to ensure you are billable

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.
