CGI reviews

Toxic workplace to the core - I was appalled by treatment I both witnessed firsthand and heard about. Those who dare speak up about shameful "leadership" risk being turned on by management and the strongarm HR department. I witnessed team leads berate employees hired as new graduates. Pressure cooker like environment - borderline abusive "People Leaders" on certain teams. But I won't name names or share specifics. Training is a complete and total disaster - it is the most dysfunctional company and onboarding process I have ever seen. Turnover runs rampant due to poor environment, pay cuts (Tiny raises during runaway inflation), and a depressing career growth outlook. People come here excited and slowly have their souls crushed month after month, therefore the company operates like a revolving door. Especially younger employees are quick to leave, which I applaud them for after witnessing the dysfunction and atrocious management style on certain teams. Therefore, your team is constantly understaffed and undertrained. In the meantime, people leaders carry all the burden of "training" new employees, being evaluated constantly on their training metrics. I had employees on other teams asking to meet, because their team was so understaffed and overworked due to turnover that their "People Leaders" couldn't find time in their calendar on a regular basis to give them basic training. No wonder Seniors and Team Leads are stressed out, which leads to lashing out. Working the job of three, while underpaid, and tasked with training the new Consultant who walks in the door month after month! If given the choice of one of my children taking their career to this company or walking over hot coals, I would choose the latter. I refuse to work somewhere where I would be sad if my family and children worked. Therefore I left for significantly more pay and a 1000% better environment.

Management are obsessed with micro management and are very quick to jump on your toes if spending more than 3 minutes taking a breather after a call. On the other hand very delayed or not responsive whatsoever when coming to them for help. Salary is no where near what it should be for the ammount of work/skills required to be good at the job. They preach the importance of mental health and how their values as a company allign with helping their employees, but in practise they fail extremely at it.
