Pros

The pros depend on which BU you are assigned to. Most seem to be client focused and direct.

Cons

Lack of vision Silos of delivery Culture in some BUs is toxic Leaders have been overpromoted and will throw others under the bus to protect their career aspirations Client delivery in aome places is poor with multiple delays and no ability to pivot due to leaderships lack of ability to accept their own failures

Pros

Management systems are well developed and probably the other business units apart from central government are not as bad. Some good people but pockets of unscrupulous cynicism that go unchecked as long as earnings on target.

Cons

Thrown in the deep end and used as fodder in the most cynical way imaginable. Disastrous knowledge transfer from an incumbent supplier after CGI won a central government contract they didn’t understand fully. Delivery managers just look after themselves and recruit contractors using third party agencies to back-fill after they burn through CGI employees rather than addressing structural issues. Well it gave me PTSD.

Pros

Work with presitge clients and systems.

Cons

Despite stating they are one of the top companies to work for if you're disabled, that tends to focus on physical ailments rather than mental health conditions. Because of national security concerns, it feels like one cannot ask for reasonable adjustments like a quieter work environment or having one's back to a wall instead of a loud, open-plan office. When I did start breaking down despite trying to hold it together, I had my security clearance suspended to essentially wash their hands of me.
