Pluspunten

A paycheck (and a mediocre one at that), most of the people are pleasant, work experience to put down on your resume while you search for another one.

Minpunten

Long hrs, there can be long blackouts for vacation time, annual raises are insulting (if you get one at all), depending on the project you might be overloaded with work, no career movement, upper management is clueless, the company did poorly in getting new projects for certain areas so even if you just worked your butt off on your last project you might still be laid off. Bench policy is awful (120 hrs) and severance package is just as bad (2 weeks per every year up to 4 years - so max is 8 weeks of pay). HR is notorious for not announcing changes in their policies so you might find out the hard way that they just found a new way to not give you a severance package.

Pluspunten

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Minpunten

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.

Pluspunten

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Minpunten

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.
