Pros

1. Great work life balance which encourages only 40 hours a week 2. Stock options are amazing 3. PTO is nice since they don't have utilization to worry about. If you start, you get 2 weeks off along with unlimited sick time which doesn't count for PTO. 4. Managers allow you to pursue your passions, if you don't want to be a QA, you can work hard and move over to a BA and so on. 5. Remote working base on your project after a few months of employment.

Cons

1. Some people are just there for a pay check so the more motivated people will get frustrated 2. Depending on deadlines, you may have to work 80+ which even though you get flex time, you will start losing that and vacation time.

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.
