Pros

Great place to meet great Project Managers and learn from them.

Cons

Must wait 1 year to be able to apply for a direct job. HR and CGI Management don't communicate with employees - they just care that you are billable. Company's benefits are not good.

Pros

Work is varied, have to get on a good project to do something interesting. Culture is very relaxed, can start and leave when you want as long as the work is done. Benefits are great - share purchase plan, private healthcare, social club. Training is available for those who ask for it.

Cons

HR and IT support are atrocious, virtually impossible to get anything done. Pay is far below market average.

A real sweat shop

Pros

It's a shame that CGI still gets high profile government contracts. The work experience looks good on your resume.

Cons

CGI brings third world sweat shop conditions to the US. You cannot even expect to have a chair to sit in, much less a desk or network connection. If by chance you get a chair, a desk and a network jack; you have to sit 3-4 per cube. They expect you to work all hours of the day and night, and they will not allow you to bill actual work hours. Isn't that illegal in the US?
