Pros

- Has a relatively nice share purchase program and match with immediate vesting and no wait period to sell - Proximity model means little need to travel for projects for most roles - Executive leadership's exclusive concern with the share price will mean your stock should continue to rise, for a little while at least

Cons

- Recent strict adherance to 0 bench policy has meant there is no job security - Raises and bonuses have been either well below inflation or just plain non-existent - Promotions are not given a boost in pay and/or used in lieu of an actual raise - Mandated use of vacation time at company discretion - Aggressive RTO policy being enacted - Severe lack of training and no dedicated (and compensated) sales force leads to poor execution of growth strategies

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.
