      I hear raises are hard, but if you know what you are doing and are competent you can get them.

      Pros

      Its work. the SPP plan is nice, buts standard. standard benefits package. there really isnt anything to special about CGI. Seriously im really indifferent about the company, I am sure that differnet Business units will have different ups and downs, however there isnt really anything that great, or bad. The social group is good i guess. nothing too special though. really indifferent to the whole process, lots of junior folks, but i have stepped up, and am being compensated for that. good learning experience and better than working at keane.

      Cons

      Nothing too exciting, its a business process management company. It might get an accountant excited, but really. its pretty dry stuff.

      Pros

      The size and number of opportunities is one of the good points. A lot of people with skills, experience and competence. If your good in business politics, you can go even further... For most part of the staff, overtime is paid, except team managers and upper management.

      Cons

      The size of the company, politics. You must have friends at right places. People are protective of their area or roles and responsibilities. This is normal in any big size company and governmants.

      Pros

      Flexible about working from home, or even from another city. Fairly laid back environment. I hear it's easy to move between projects and offices. I also get the sense that things vary a lot between projects and offices. Company stock share plan that is matched 50% up to 2% of salary. Reasonable vacation time, as well as other personal leave as needed. As mentioned below, sometimes things are very slow. During those times there is flexibility about coming in a bit late, leaving a bit early. There is a social club, and their events tend to be worthwhile. Many of your co-workers will be fairly young.

      Cons

      Variation between projects can be frustrating. Some teams have very little to do, while others are putting in 80 hour weeks. If you're not working from out of office or traveling, you will be working in a cube. Some technical consultants end up in relatively un-technical roles. For example, developers who do very little coding and spend most of their time support existing systems, upgrading third party software, etc. Working mainly or exclusively from home can be a drag, and some complain of missing personal collaboration with their team. Sometimes management's expectations are unclear. Sometimes the laid back attitude leads to simple tasks taking longer than is necessary.
