Pros

Decent pay. Local restaurants around the Deteoit passport office are good.

Cons

Got a very bare minimum amount of training and left to fend for myself in an unfamiliar environment. Not once did I feel like CGI had my back or best interest in terms of helping me succeed in my position. Also not related specifically to the job itself but I had assigned over 50 tasks to complete from HR on my own, most of which I should have had in person assistance with. If you accept a position here be sure you know how to swim because you will be dropped alone in the middle of the ocean.

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.
