Pros

Have not experienced any so far.

Cons

Preditory Canadian company that growth by acquisition of smaller companies and thier client base. Does not have much specialism if the core talent is not there. Specialises at IT services.

Pros

Private healthcare Okay package for someone who is still in early career steps

Cons

My 1st time ever working for a corporate company and never again. There is no progression for senior people it seems (some are stuck at the senior role for 5+ years and those people will take it out on you or try to manage you showing you your place) unless you know someone/are a family member of someone higher up. Business will hit quieter months and you will be the one to blame for it. Managers don't have any say and are led by directors and sometimes even pressured into bullying someone out of the job if needs be. If you are not around any of their primary locations and working fully remote, prepare to not be included in any social activities, networking or in general just prepared to be cut off unless you keep nagging them about it to finally give you some opportunity. Mental health does not exist there, they will suggest help but it will take months to be looked at and they tend to be quite direct asking you very personal questions to make sure they know everything to cover their back if things go South (yes, your mental health affecting the performance will be penalised, so you better off take some leave- speaking from experience) IT support is so busy and underpaid that you will almost never get anything resolved unless escalated by your reporting manager and if you do not do so - it will be your fault. Overall, anything you do is monitored very carefully. Be wary of a small things, including being late for a meeting by 2 minutes due to your connection to their outdated systems. Lastly- training opportunities: none. You will be lucky to explore different areas of Consulting as they do not want to provide you with any trainings that are outside of your job requirements.

Be careful, you could get a job in CGI today, and be out of job in next 6months. They user people to make profit. When they realised you are of no use, the make you redundant
