Pros

1 - SPP (Share purchase plan) is a good scheme in CGI. Even for a fresher employee share contribution in must. Company is also doing good, so you can get a very good benefit with this plan.

Cons

1 - I am working at client location. For client location, there are not much benefits. Even no one will care about you. Managers will come to you just at the time of appraisal. 2- Travel desk / mobility teams are worst in there support. They themselves are not clear about policies and will eat your onsite money.

Pros

*Employee stock purchase plan has generous matching on fairly stable company stock *Momentum Financials is used by 70+ federal agencies

Cons

*The stock purchase plan does not make up for abysmal salaries compared to other management consulting firms. *Company went to high deductible insurance in 2014, increasing burden on employees. *Annual salary increases are between 1-2.5%, forcing employees to jump ship to see a significant increase and adding to the turnover rate that management complains about annually. * As another review mentioned, advancement/promotions seem arbitrary and based on the member's relationship with upper management and not merit/competence. *Promotions that do occur often go to people who are abrasive and verbally abusive to employees, but have good visibility with upper management. *Work/life harmony can be thrown out the window if management creates a short turnaround for a deliverable (with no input from line employees) and "voluntell" them to work nights and weekends.

Pros

Good place to START a career and to maybe end one. For those who are coming right out of college it's a good place to learn the skills you'll need to start a career in a corporate setting. The people (depending on what team you're on) are also welling to lend a hand to help you learn and understand your work.

Cons

Upward mobility is almost non existent. The Troy Offices are quickly becoming nothing more then a call center with only a few business analysts and Technical works still working there. Pay is FAR bellow market value and management does not seem to care. Management says Work/Life balance is important to them but some jobs require 12+ hour work days for months on end, leaving NO room for work/life balance.
