      CGI - Full of promises, all of them are empty.

      Pros

      Honestly, the only great reason to work for CGI is when you are fresh out of college. If I say anything else is good, I would be lying.

      Cons

      Get your 1 year experience, and move on. The management is clueless on large projects, and treats you like kids. Managers are picked based on who is in the "clique." Experience and people skills mean nothing to become a manager or team lead. Morale is often very low due to very weak management. Little to no communication. Managers always pass the blame to people on their team, it is never their faults. Little to no direction. Team leads are often kids - very immature, and childish - i.e. playing hangman during meetings (true story).

      Pros

      As a company, it seems to be a decent enough place as an entry level college graduate. There are rare occasions when you will work with managers who excel in leadership, but it wont be often. Entry level salaries are competitive and there are spotty areas worth being in

      Cons

      There is no real push to succeed or over deliver. The US operations of CGI are a conglomerate of acquired companies which have yet to be integrated correctly. There seems to be very little internal growth and there is very high turnover for new hires. The company does a lot of its work on government contracts and has a tendency to hire large numbers of recent college grads to back fill ongoing projects to complete testing with no discernible training or advancement opportunities. No perks to speak of really, and an overall atmosphere of discontent among new hires, and an atmosphere of bureaucracy amongst management

      Pros

      You will have a job and work in a team most of the time. You might enjoy some freedom depending on the type of work you have and how well your boss trust you.

      Cons

      To get a real raise, you better save a catastrophic situation. You get treated well but mostly as a number. For some reason they don't seem to care about loosing good established employee. Sometime they won't even make a counter offer if you tell them you have been offered something better somewhere else. Seems they think a new rookie will replace you in no time even if he know nothing about the situation where your working.
