      CGI Faces Challenges

      Vice president consulting
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      CGI Group has an abundance of very bright, collaborative, individuals who all pull their weight toward keeping clients pleased with deliverables and overall CGI performance. Benefits, especially vacations and leave, are very competitive.

      Cons

      CGI Group is essentially a grouping of independent business units, which puts the primary focus on hitting each unit's P&L goal and discourages any cooperation that threatens that goal. As a result, the CGI business model suffers from a lack of enterprise-wide investments in technology solutions and thought leadership. The competitiveness of the business model has eroded significantly over the past 3 years and, correspondingly, so have professional and career opportunities within the company.

      Life is like a box of chocolates, but with CGI you always know what you're going to get

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - outstanding work/life balance to the point that it's easily feasible to take up a part-time job, attend grad classes, spend time with kids, etc. - easy to take off work when necessary - unlimited sick days - team comraderie - knowledgeable middle-management - marketable starting salary - relaxed and engaging employees

      Cons

      - terrible training (often you are thrown to the wolves in a rather antiquated or faulty subsytem and your deliverable is within the day, and the technical training they have doesn't apply to your client) - much desired Subject Matter Expert Framework - promotion determination is vague - learning levels off after around 5-7 months
