Pros

- Things look good and rosy initially when they are not. - Severance offered was comparable with market

Cons

CGI does not has great mentors. The company will put you as a resource on loan at the start of your career without any clear expectations from the client (they expect the client to train you). When you gain the experience in client company culture, you are expected to again get trained for 3 months. In all 6 months gone in training. - You never know when you get terminated after coming from medical emergencies. - No consideration for human rights. - Very Unfair to grads (I would keep it as the last company to chose even if I had no job). - Company has no structure - Traditional ways of operations (aging workforce makes no place for new grads) - No encouragement for team building and team bonding - After terminating at a very early stage of your career you are left with difficulties to find a new jjob

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
