Pros

Able to work from home. If you have a IT it's easy to get hired by CGI. Good place for new grads to get that first 2 years of experience. Career wise all CGI is useful for is to keep holes off your resume. If you lack ambition CGI it's the place for you.

Cons

Pay is significantly below industry average. CGI has some of the worst benefits and the most expensive health insurance I've encountered. CGI is one of those shops that throws bodies at jobs regardless of the person's experience or career desires. Since CGI it's a consulting company there is very little opportunity to work with current technologies or to learn new skills. I worked for CGI for 5 years and during that time I was never given the opportunity to work on projects using current technologies (5 years of working on .NET forms doesn't make for good job experience). There is no opportunity for career growth, when you quit you'll be doing the same thing you did when they hired you. You'll be treated like a cog in the machine by CGI and you'll quickly find out they will discard you at any down turn in business or when by they lose the contract you are working on through incompetent management.

Pros

-opportunity for a variety of career experience -many good and talented people at the client working level

Cons

- know that this is primarily a project delivery company that has grown through acquisition - It's a revolving door for most people so negotiate your employment contract well upfront -Each BU is run differently depending on the experience of its current leader - BU Leaders who are cost focused often lack vision for growth and where to invest, which drives employee resentment and low sat scores - BU leaders who are more growth oriented often know their client markets, where to invest and how to motivate clients and employees -If you are looking to join CGI, you need to understand the track record of the BU leader in meeting their financial targets over 2-3 years as it will impact your remuneration, career opportunities and motivation
