Pros

Used to have great people Staff were once treated as people instead of a number against a sheet

Cons

This company offers a terrible salary compared to the others in the area competing against them. Managers are very highly paid and totally inept at their jobs. The legacy managers left over from Logica have destroyed this company. CGI should have replaced them entirely when they had the chance. There is no training, ever. The "budget" is always there, but middle management refuse to allow staff to attend training. The forced "company improvement" internal training is some of the most painful hours I have ever spent clicking through an internal workbook. If you are unlucky enough to get put onto the support team ( which will be referenced as something entirely different in your job search), you might find yourself heading into a deep depression. The management here is worse than the management in the rest of the company, ignoring clear bullying of colleagues, inept employees and shocking time management. CGI are probably a great company to work for, unless you work in the UK. Then you have no hope. Just ask any former employee that wasn't at least a "level 3" manager.

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.
