Pros

Nothing comes to mind. It used to be a good place to work a few years ago.

Cons

There are quite a few "orphaned Bell employees" now working in CGI-CSB. On one hand, you can't win the development work because CGI wants to extract as much $ from the client as possible. On the other hand, the client is restructuring and knows they are being taken to the cleaners. The end result is that the systems development professionals get caught in the middle. To top it all off, they are also now determined to offshore the development work to India wherever possible!

Pros

Opportunities for growth abound! Management is very good about allowing staff to carve their own path and encourage researching new ways of doing things...

Cons

There is a high amount of "entitlement" in the office I work at. People have obtained positions based on "who" they know when their skill does not support that position. It is very easy to lose focus on the fact that CGI does actually support a work/life balance. They will happily work you like a dog, but don't flinch if you say no.
