Pros

one of the best reasons to work here is that the company allows flexible work arrangements and is very understanding of work life balance. this is one of the best places for flexible work schedules. getting time off approved has never been a problem the projects are interesting and rewarding. you are able to work on various assignments of interest. this is a place where you can take charge of your own career and always have opportunities to learn. the best part of the job are the people. the people are great to work with, smart, driven, fun. my experience has been positive

Cons

since the merger there has been a definite change in culture and policies and structure. employee morale was on the low side for some time but seems to be picking back up. it is now a global multi national company with tens of thousands of employees so you often feel lost among the crowd. the company is not as flat as it once was and communication between corporate business unit levels to the staff is somewhat lacking. employee turnover is pretty high in comparison to industry standards. business units and projects are fairly separate so it is hard to get much interaction outside of your team.

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.
