Pros

From a systems development lifecycle (SDLC) perspective, the company places a strong emphasis on developing repeatable processes. It is a good place to development SDLC skills.

Cons

The workload can be overwhelming. Management commits to deliverables/products without a realistic understanding of the resources required. There is also a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy created due to internal reviews of quality checks. On paper, CGI provides compensation time for any time worked after the 16th hour of overtime within its pay period. In reality, this is discouraged. You are expected to complete your work even during crunch times without accruing overtime. CGI's benefits are subpar. Its cap on 401(k) contribution is disappointing. Tuition reimbursement is not common.
