      Pros

      CGI is a big firm which gives you a great name on a resume you get to work with various types of great clients

      Cons

      CGI doesnt really have a good reputation in the public's view for certain types of contracts. contracts are often negociated very high and it gets hard to do business development unless you work with the businness development team.

      CGI is a good place to work but your experience will depend greatly on your manager.

      Pros

      Great learning opportunities, decent compensation, great people. I've never had a problem moving into different positions. If you are smart and ambitious you can move ahead quickly.

      Cons

      Benefits are not great. There is no pension. If you get a bad manager your opportunities are very limited. The type of experience you have at CGI will depend highly on your manager. Getting into the right organization is very important as movement between SI (systems integration - programmers, architects, etc.) and OMS (operations management - support staff, systems adminstrators, etc.) is rare and difficult. I recommend SI.

      Former AMSers

      Pros

      CGI Group (CGI) acquired American Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) in May 2004. For approximately 2 years, the United States division was known as CGI-AMS (as a way to continue the brand loyalty of AMS clients). Right before AMS was acquired (at the time, CGI tried to sell it to AMS employees as a "merger" - no one bought that), the morale at AMS was poor. For awhile after the acquisition, the morale among former AMS employees went down. This is pretty standard. Over the years, there has been some improvement in making the former AMS employees feel as if they belong to the company, but for the most part, people still think of themselves as "AMSers". This doesn't seem to get in the way of everyone working together to get the job done.

      Cons

      As with most firms, different people have different experiences. I wouldn't disuade anyone from applying to CGI.
