Pros

CGI gives lot of benefits to employees including bonus at the end of the year and diwali gift( pretty decent ones). There are ample of opportunities to learn things specially for freshers. Regarding policies: CGI is an employee friendly company. It allows employees to work from home, there use to be Member satisfaction programs where feedback is taken from employees regarding the work culture, compensation and benefits. If you are not satisfied with something or need any improvement, this is a best and effective way to communicate directly to your manager. Apart from it, a skip level meeting is being conducted once in a year with higher management. Policies are transparent. Targets are tight and the company's growth is really aggressive.

Cons

Even being 5th largest IT service provider, CGI doesn't give salary and compensation structure of CGI is too stoic. It doesn't pay as per market standards. People have to work 9 hours a day and additional half an hour for client commitment.

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.
