CGI reviews

Frankly, being at CGI was the worst two years of my life. Management plays favorites and there is little room for growth in your position. You will not get any career development, even if you beg to your boss. Especially as a consultant/college hire. They treated experienced hires well and treat college hires like dirt. CGI Federal is so behind in all IT practices, its such a joke that they're one of the top places to work at in the D.C. area. They can't even handle following Agile methodology and give in to scope creep all the time. The project I was on was failing so miserably, its amazing that they managed to keep the client for so long. They pay far below their competitors and raises and bonuses are tiny. They scam college hires by lying during the recruitment process. Beware: all college hires just are on-boarded to become glorified help-desk associates. If you're considering a job offer here, heed my advice and reject them. Everyone I worked with hated their jobs and was miserable. Including me. You'll be much better off at a different IT consulting firm.

A company with no real objectives apart from making money, and without any kind of anchor in some kind of passion about making a difference, it all becomes a nonsense. The company may try to disguise itself behind its masks, but the truth eventually will come out. I wasted ten years of my life in this charade, and believe me they have no values and everyone who works with them is lost unless they are somewhere in the higher echelons on the big salaries, alas.
