Pros

Work is steady, and you never feel like you're sitting around doing nothing. Most of the people are kind and make an effort to help you.

Cons

Management is awful. Bosses treat you like you're stupid. Pay is stingy and the higher management seems blissfully unaware of current inflation and its effects on lower level employees. Work from home is looked down on and actively discouraged, even when employees stress its importance to them personally. the company is more focused on diversity targets than on improving the daily life of the workforce; we received numerous emails about diversity initiatives but barely any for mental health support. Person I worked for was racist and was comfortable talking about how much better they were than me because of their race. Pay is atrocious in my opinion based on the amount of work and nonsense I had to deal with the entire time I was there.

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.
