      Avoid working here at all costs. McDonalds treats their employees better.

      Pros

      They will hire anybody. Sick time is unlimited. You have a pretty decent cubicle.

      Cons

      If you don't suck up then you don't move up. They don't give a rat's butt about you as a person. If you don't cook, don't expect a promotion. Yes, I meant to type cook! (I realize this is an IT company and culinary skills shouldn't play a role, but you'd be surprised in the SWVA Center)

      Pros

      to have an experience in a consulting firm

      Cons

      CGI Do not respect their employees whose mandate is over and have to place them to a new client. CGI forgets how much you brought before beeing on the bench. If you want to stay there, you should follow a carreer plan and invest you own money to stay at the level. CGI won't pay for any formation for you... And it is a workshop too; the client is always right even if it is obvious that it is wrong. CGI have many mediocre carreer managers and directors using their consultants expertise and make the work of the latters, as theirs. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE RESPECTED AS AN EMPLOYEE. NEVER WORK THERE

      Stagnant, uninspiring company

      Pros

      They were good with work/life balance issues. They have this idea of compensatory time when you work extra hours, so almost never had an issue with having enough vacation time.

      Cons

      The company is too corporate and straight out of the tv show "the office". Communications are handed down from the top with no explanation of the company's strategic direction and vision. They seemed genuinely proud to be the "8th largest" IT company in the world, and never did management explain if/how they planned to move up in that ranking. Reviews and promotions were arbitrary and often you could be promoted without a pay raise, because raises and promotions were on different cycles!
