Pros

For the most part, as least from my perspective, CGI is a "big boy company" meaning I do not get micro-managed and typically only hear from mgmt if there is an issue or for kudos. Stock options are amazing! You also own the stock immediately. Very generous vacation and sick leave

Cons

Lack of training, which is a double edged sword. They are really starting to tighten up on salaries as gov't spending draws down. They are switching over to the dreaded HSA health plan. Old insurance plan was great!

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.
