Pros

Great place to start working in if you plan to work for a consulting company. The company is one of the biggest in north america so you'll get all the advantages of a company of this size like health plans, fitness club for free, etc. Working is also great. The large majority of people at CGI are very competent and motivated persons. As you will work on many projects in your carreer you will deal with many different technology, collegues. It is very pleasant to "change job" every 6 months. It forces you to keep up to date technologicaly and does not let you fall in routine.

Cons

Those are the downside of working in a consulting company. The biggest drawback is that between projects you can stay as long as 3 months without been re-affected on a new project. It is a good moment to learn about new technologies but that is pretty hard for ego since you may feel "unnecessary" for a couple of weeks. Of course you are still paid in the meanwhile ! The other issue is that you often change projects, so it is harder to develop social relations with your collegues, as teams change all the time, but nothing is impossible !

Pros

If you are driven and motivated to succeed CGI will provide you with ample opportunities to shine and succeed. CGI does not hire employee it hires members (owners) that get to partake in all the benefits the company has to offer - profit sharing, stock options and a stock purchase plan. CGI's Senior Management are very passionate about the company and they have a clear vision and mission for CGI – it is very inspiring to hear them speak about CGI’s vision and mission. CGI has some great Managers that constantly provide recognition and feedback for a job well done – unfortunately there are those Managers that seem to forget to provide that words of recognition and thanks for a job well done do not cost them or the company anything.

Cons

It's a great company with many talented people yet they are unable to command the high per diem rates that companies such as IBM, EDS and Accenture enjoy.

Pros

CGI offers an exciting work environment and welcoming innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. It is a competitive consulting company and brings many great consulting opportunities to its employees. The compensation and benefit package is competitive within the consulting industry. CGI also shows a strong sense of committment to its employees, and is dedicated to their professional and personal development. Overall, a great place to work.

Cons

As with any consulting company, the employee does not always have choice over the consulting contracts they are assigned. CGI does a good job of balancing this with the overall career and professional development objectives of the employee.
