      Pros

      None to mention at this moment.

      Cons

      1) Terrible/ unethical process when on the bench. You’re made redundant if you’re in the bench for more than 8 weeks! This is very stressful, demeaning and just down right wrong. It also negates the fact that you’re a permanent employee and treats you as a temporary staff. It’s the number 1 reason I left the firm. 2) Promotions are non existent. You can get a promotion but won’t get a pay rise. There are people who have been at the firm for 4 years with 2 promotions but still on entry level pay. 3) Culture at the firm is just not meant for someone ambitious to grow. You will stagnate in your career at CGI.

      Pros

      * Central location. * A consultancy that has a base office for developers.

      Cons

      90+ Developers have resigned over the last 14 months (20 in the last 10 weeks) from Glasgow's two delivery centers (ODSC, Java Development Center) leaving 18 staff total. 1) Salary - average 35-50% below industry average across all levels. 2) Bonuses are denied by moving financial targets. 3) Offices are jokingly referred to as "dystopian looking" 4) 2 Senior VPs purposefully sabotaging the departments, bullying staff at all levels (5/8 senior staff were off with stress during 1 month). 5) Unsanitary working conditions (thick dust on desks and hair balls on carpets) and utilitarian with (literally) no storage. 6) Offices are never large enough for all the staff (staff work full time in the kitchen). Plants are not allowed in CGI offices as they are "unhygienic". 7) You may be told to "bring devices from home" to meet contract requirements. 8) Project mangers routinely out-number developers due to corporate bureaucracy and standard billing practices: a recent project had 1 Developer and 8 PMs. 9) You are expected to work on new I.P. in your spare time - unpaid, with no rewards for projects that lead to business. VPs have refused any action being taken on the above, despite 4+ years worth of reports/complaints/requests for assistance.

      You'll have a wonderful time until you start to say no.

      Pros

      Flexible work hours(If you're lucky) The benefits are good compared to other companies.

      Cons

      - The management fail to recognize talent, and allow them leave without even trying to retain them. - The management feels that the solution to efficiently operate a business is to Micro-manage employees by making them account for all 480 minutes of their work day. - Your only annual bonus is a reminder that you're lucky to have a job. - Middle management love to form cliques, and it's easy to get left out in the cold if you don't tow the line and suck up. - Optional work hours(overtime) is made to seem not optional, and rather mandatory. - Upper Management have an unrealistic view of operations in the trenches because 95% of them have never worked there and have no idea what its like. - Forget about advancement because as soon as they realize you're good at something, they will pigeon-hole you into that role.
