Pros

you can get by easily as a non-performer - once you're in they will keep you around forever.

Cons

career growth and salary increases are solely based on who you know, how well you're liked by managers and not performance.

Pros

The best thing about working here, was the collaborative atmosphere. Some of the other consulting firms have internal power struggles and overflow with 'Type A' personalities because of the way compensation and reviews work. At CGI-AMS, everything was a team effort. It was high quality work that was being done, by very intelligent people. There is a lot to learn about the places CGI-AMS is located (a lot of Government work), and it's a great opportunity to go head-first into the way our local, state and federal governments operate.

Cons

The biggest issue I had with the company was the work-life balance. Of course, like most companies, flexibility is touted as a key benefit. However, like most consulting firms, it's not about getting your work done right away. The (occasionally) more important thing is to make sure you're billing the right amount of time. In most consulting firms, your true value is everything past 40 hours. Get all of your work done in 40? Find some more work to do. That's not the right way to do things, but it is common in consulting when you're billing a client with deep pockets.
