Pros

Large Organization, Smooth Joining Process, Initial buddy programs etc, bench strength from offshore to support projects, Pay Grade - as per the market standard Share purchase plan from Director level and above

Cons

Lack of governance - all business units work in silos, process maturity level very low, no business units are connected, every thing works in isolation, centralized governance process either faintly exists or non exist, if faintly exists not being enforced Non Aggressive Business Model – Sales/Pre-sales team are not so aggressive to win new businesses and that is being reflected in many geography. Few area doesn’t have dedicated pre-sales guys or filled up with incompetent resources. Competitors are doing far better. Hire-Fire model - Management didn't understand - they fired experienced people who are getting a job easily, but CGI will spend a lot in future to train the new hire again Zero appetite to stand with the employees during COVID; at-least in this geography

Pros

-Travel, but expect to live in a busy city and not on the beach -Interesting work -Experience with IT tools

Cons

-All work no play, the office environment degraded over the years I worked there and stooped to the point where it is today. It is all about squeezing life out of employees in order to push highest numbers, while firing employees to hire new ones at lower cost. Numbers are everything while service gets worse. -Company will take your passport and keep it hostage. -Company have trouble with local authority and may have to put you on tourist visa instead of working visa. Working as an illigal alien in Philippines, while company saves money on you. -Low pay. -Bad insurance. -Company will deduct foreigners pay for SSS pension and Phil Health, though foreigners will never be able to use these. -Employer have no education in leadership and think being strict and slapping you for anything is the way to treat employees. -Once you arrive in Philippines you can only end your contract to go home early if you return money for ticket and rent first month. Thus if you decided it was a bad idea, you will end up paying high price for even going there in the first place. If you have no money before going there, you are basicly a hostage until you can earn enough money. -They promised you will get free flight home every year. This in reality means you will get no free flight unless you stay for a 2nd year. -You will not be able to get an increase in salary, even with tenure.
