Pros

Really good Shares and pension schemes.

Cons

Salaries could be better. Holidays capped at 25 days regardless of years service. Promises progression and career development but in reality,as long as your doing your day job, management dont go out of their way to offer further development. Management tend to hire friends, some areas can be very much if your face fits and you know who is going to get the opportunities. When you do progress it will take forever for you to be given your base pay if your not on that already. They say if your below the basic pay for the position they give you hale in 3 months and the other half in 6 months. I have been in my role 7 months, it took 5 months to get the first half, still waiting for the second.

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.
