Pros

You can work from home sometimes

Cons

Benefits are drastically changing. You will have to pay $3500 up front before insurance even kicks in. CGI now is basically refusing to give decent health coverage to employees -- they basically want you to come up with your own so they won't have to pay their portion. You will probably only receive two raises in the whole time you are employed unless you brown nose and kiss tail. Your reviews will be negative -- they will blame you for things such as DVD/CD ROME drives failing or hard drives crashing.

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.
