Pros

The people - seriously there were some very talented people there. I stayed as long as I did because of the people I worked with. The benefits package was good under Logica, but CGI are slowly eroding it away.

Cons

If you work in South Wales and are not in with the management (known nationally as the South Wales Mafia) then you have no hope there. nepotism and favouritism is rife! They only pay you what they can get away with which is below the market rate. The only way to get a pay rise is to hand in your notice. management allowing staff to operate under a Pareto principle of working - 20% of the staff doing 80% of the work. Very Poor at saying thank you to staff who put in the effort. Middle / Senior Management like to operate ether under a culture of fear or ostrich management

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.
