Pros

I've enjoyed a lot of very good years with CGI. There is a lot to like about the company. But it all depends on where you are - it can be like working at a very different company when you move between groups.

Cons

Company is definitely in a bit of a rough patch. The core model is when where you can feel like the company is shrinking even when it's growing. Big on acquisitions, so they buy to grow but then cut redundancy so there are always people being let go. Now with the recent press, etc., if you are in a part of the company that is getting hit with slower growth or even negative growth its not a very happy place. Very high turnover, and it's the good people who are leaving. That's been going on for about 2 years now. Folks think the worst is behind, but I'm not convinced.

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.
