      Pros

      It's a great place to learn then move to another company. You get 3 weeks of vacations when you start. There is some great people working there depending in which team you are. thanks

      Cons

      bad salaries, constant change in the organization which makes it very difficult for the ressources to get confortable with the business model. Example I have been under more VP then the number of years I have been working there No funding in this company which makes it very hard to get any internal project approved. Overall CGI is a big company with a small business mentality.

      Pros

      CGI is just a paymaster, when it comes to a employer-employee relationship. My satisfaction derives from working at the client site where I have earned my stars. The experience I have gained in working across 100 legacy mainframe applications, is what's making me a stable and realiable stock. The benefits offered by CGI is pretty good. They offer a 1/1 stock purchase plan(that is if you buy one cgi stock, cgi credits your account with one stock). For 401K, they have a good formula. Increases as your salary increases. The formula is hourly_rate*0.04*0.5*2080=annual value that CGI credits to your 401K account. Commuter rail discount - if work in a high cost of livng city like Boston, your are reimbursed for your monthly MBTA fare. For example if you live in the MBTA Zone 6 areas around Boston, you are re-imbursed 12*223(cost of a Zone6 rail pass)=2676.

      Cons

      The account management at CGI does not make use of the capabilities of account members in furthering and seizing strategic initiatives. If you are stuck in a particular client site, you could be there for a very long time!!.

      Carfully negotiate your salary before you sign on!

      Pros

      CGI offers very talented and dedicated team players that are willing to go above and beyond for the good of the company and in the spirit of helping the team. The employees are the owners and they take great care in cultivating a great team attitude and knowledge sharing.

      Cons

      Compensation is determined when you negotiate your salary and there is little room for salary increases above COLA once they have you on board. Benefits have been cut again and again and are teetering on unacceptable. All of the incentives and bonuses are dealt out to upper management, leaving chump change to the "worker bees." There is a joke of a 401k/retirement plan.
