Pros

* Good leadership within software engineering team with a long term view to both team and business development. - therefore lots of training and opportunities to work on projects aligned to your personal development interests. * Great relationships with clients and partners. * Friendly supportive colleagues * The member share scheme is good. * Good support for attaining professional certifications * It's possible to work from home one or two days per week

Cons

* CGI is a huge global leader so you can feel like a small cog -- however, you can quickly make your mark within your team/project.

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
