Pros

They will hire anybody. Sick time is unlimited. You have a pretty decent cubicle.

Cons

If you don't suck up then you don't move up. They don't give a rat's butt about you as a person. If you don't cook, don't expect a promotion. Yes, I meant to type cook! (I realize this is an IT company and culinary skills shouldn't play a role, but you'd be surprised in the SWVA Center)

Pros

You get great experience in the consulting world. You travel all around the country. If you have a good PM, you get training. If you're smart (and a little lucky), you will work on a variety of projects in a variety of industries. Great experience for a first job in IT.

Cons

They lay you off if you're on the bench too long, no matter what you contributed to the company beforehand. There are only a couple positions to be promoted to. The pay scale is lower than comparable jobs in the area. I was able to get a 15% pay increase by making a lateral move to another company. And this was in a down economy.

Pros

to have an experience in a consulting firm

Cons

CGI Do not respect their employees whose mandate is over and have to place them to a new client. CGI forgets how much you brought before beeing on the bench. If you want to stay there, you should follow a carreer plan and invest you own money to stay at the level. CGI won't pay for any formation for you... And it is a workshop too; the client is always right even if it is obvious that it is wrong. CGI have many mediocre carreer managers and directors using their consultants expertise and make the work of the latters, as theirs. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE RESPECTED AS AN EMPLOYEE. NEVER WORK THERE
