CGI reviews

lack of recognition, management is not up to par. Unless you are a lifer, you'll never see any advancement, but really who wants to put in 30+ years to move up 3 or 4 levels, you'll just become another part of the useless middle management. They say you should feel like an owner of the company, I guess they forgot to mention that to everyone they laid off. Management should really look at who is actually bringing in revenue and not who's the easiest to get rid of.

I come from a private sector consulting background so i find the hours that i have experienced so far at CGI to be rather pleasant. After working for companies who along with the client expected 60+ hour work weeks plush travel, it is rather refreshing working for a company where 40 hour work weeks is the norm. The low margins involved with government work are also reflected in the lower pay as compared to our private sector counterparts. But it is a personal decision to take less money for a better work-life balance. It's a decision that i decided to make and i'm quite happy with.
