      CGI, a Logica Company

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Share plan was quite generous, and there can be decent training options available if you pursue it with enough zeal.

      Cons

      In the Australia BU - since the Logica reverse takeover - there's been too many cons to mention. Staff treated with disdain and disrespect, no commitment to growth or to supporting Directors who could have made a difference. Running after bid responses without any planning or direction, plus having no idea how to co-ordinate staff or how to handle internal communication has created a mess. Top heavy with clueless middle and upper management who have no direction and no leadership. Company has no realistic pipeline and certainly lacks any decent sales people. The recent round of redundancies seemed to target the last remnants of the "heritage CGI" membership so that that mainly only ex-Logica staff remain. Anyone with any leadership has been drummed out - the reverse takeover is complete.

      UK - Best Avoided

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Seriously cannot think of a pro. That is very sad and indicative of the organisation. Oh - wait 1) Head office in London nicely located by Kings Cross. 2) Birmingham Office nicely located near train station and airport 3) Head office in reading easy from motorway. 4) Expenses - paid very quickly. This is good. and that is about it. Sorry

      Cons

      With CGI taking over Logica you would have thought a new broom sweeps clean. Not this one. It simply promoted the dross to the top positions. So here are the cons : 1) Apathy Noone cares about anything - except the bottom line. Nobody give a toss as to market position, CGI name or skillsets of the employees. 2) Software house - not SI CGI software is king. Oracle, Microsoft and SAP practices are disbanded. Not interested in retaining any of the golden capability that Logica had. Its CGI software or nought. 3) Pay Well below market rate. Bonus is a joke. 4) Ownership Preached at to be 'owners'. Buy shares. We are all 'members'. It is Canadian hype only. You cant vote with the shares, no dividend payout. whats is a 'member'. Please refer to the slang meaning of 'member' 5) work life balance. CGI UK CEO stated he did not like people working from home. duh. 6) technology We all use 4 - 5 yr old laptops. no smartphone except ancient BB's. Forget android or IOS. In UK your company phone will be a nokia 3310 else you have to request upgrade via procurement process that is only signed off by UK CEO. 7) Ivory Tower HR and FI think we all work in CGI offices. We dont. Wake up !. 8) Timesheets Submitted weekly every Friday by 17:00 and approved by Monday 10:00. If not then each late timesheet incurs a $100 fine from Canada. Bizarre.
