Pros

- Opportunities to work for a variety of clients. - Opportunity to learn new technologies. - Some colleagues are extraordinarily helpful. - Some of the offshore colleagues in India went way, WAY more than above and beyond for a specific project I worked on. This is unusual in my experience (which is that India-based resources mostly do not go above and beyond) - Parking in Plymouth Meeting office was nice, if you parked on the top floor of the parking garage - you could just walk right into the office, practically, as it was on the same floor. On rainy days, you can park in the other floors and take the elevator.

Cons

- Some colleagues and leaders have been there for a very long time, and new employees may not feel part of the "in crowd". - When I was there, I wished there was more collaboration with other colleagues that were focused on the same technology stack and / or industry vertical who were in other geographic regions. I started to network on my own and reached out to colleagues in the EU and Asia, but there was no company-provided platform to facilitate this. This may have changed. - Without having any actual data to back this up, I "felt" like the overwhelming majority of revenue for my department / business unit depended on just a few very large long-term clients. I would have personally preferred to spread out the risk across more accounts and projects,

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.
