Pros

Flexible work hours(If you're lucky) The benefits are good compared to other companies.

Cons

- The management fail to recognize talent, and allow them leave without even trying to retain them. - The management feels that the solution to efficiently operate a business is to Micro-manage employees by making them account for all 480 minutes of their work day. - Your only annual bonus is a reminder that you're lucky to have a job. - Middle management love to form cliques, and it's easy to get left out in the cold if you don't tow the line and suck up. - Optional work hours(overtime) is made to seem not optional, and rather mandatory. - Upper Management have an unrealistic view of operations in the trenches because 95% of them have never worked there and have no idea what its like. - Forget about advancement because as soon as they realize you're good at something, they will pigeon-hole you into that role.

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.
