Pros

Used to have great people Staff were once treated as people instead of a number against a sheet

Cons

This company offers a terrible salary compared to the others in the area competing against them. Managers are very highly paid and totally inept at their jobs. The legacy managers left over from Logica have destroyed this company. CGI should have replaced them entirely when they had the chance. There is no training, ever. The "budget" is always there, but middle management refuse to allow staff to attend training. The forced "company improvement" internal training is some of the most painful hours I have ever spent clicking through an internal workbook. If you are unlucky enough to get put onto the support team ( which will be referenced as something entirely different in your job search), you might find yourself heading into a deep depression. The management here is worse than the management in the rest of the company, ignoring clear bullying of colleagues, inept employees and shocking time management. CGI are probably a great company to work for, unless you work in the UK. Then you have no hope. Just ask any former employee that wasn't at least a "level 3" manager.

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.
