Pros

- They have a nice office in sky garden - if you can survive a heartless company take 6 months of paid maternity. - they have most corporate benefits.

Cons

They bought my previous company and are slowly taking us all off our clients so they can take out client projects and give them to their junior consultants. We are too expensive for them so they are slowly trying to get rid of us. If you are off client for over 8 weeks they will serve you notice and end your contract. I have received very little support from them through this time. - their systems are very old and legacy and you have to log in multiple times to get access - they have very little career framework support - the management system is very confusing - the share scheme is a scam and leads to people not receiving their money - they underpay their consultants by quite a large marge but then won't allow you apply for clients if they don't make more than 30% on you. - they rushed the purchase of our company leading to little satisfaction and a half done job of us moving over leading to stress and anxiety from many employees. - also they gift us useless crap to pretend they care.

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
