      Stuck in the middle

      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!

      Know your limits and stick to them, because CGI will certainly push them....

      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.

      CGI may not be your dream job, but is a good place to grow and develop your skills

      Pros

      The other collegues I work with are great to work with for the most part. I feel that my career has progressed at CGI in terms of more responsiblity and more technical challenges. The work environment is also pretty good.

      Cons

      Your work is subject to the client's demands. That is the frustrating part about consulting in general. A lot of your experience at CGI depends on the Business Unit you are working in and the client you are working with. You can get locked in to working with a certain client and it can be difficult to move especially if you become a key resource with your client. I was unhappy with my compensation for a while but I recently got a decent raise so it did help. But I feel that some of the increase in compensation was due to the fact that many good people were leaving.
