Pros

CGI offers a very good work-life balance, with very understanding management. Unlimited sick days and in general a good sense of team.

Cons

Commutes often split between Fairfax, VA and Washington, DC. There is a lot of tolerance for sub-standard employees which can be frustrating under tight deadlines.

Pros

Exposure to a limited cadre of Fortune 100 Firms, support for training if you can convince management, some attempts to connect with rank and file staff but it's really treated more like a checkbox than heartfelt.

Cons

High turnover rate. Lack of commitment to long term opportunities unless there is short term money to be made: margin is constantly under a microscope for senior staff, so if numbers don't look good in short term then cuts come quickly.

Pros

They pay you for coming to work, that's about it.

Cons

I was brough onboard with CGI after being a temp for about 2 years. I thought it would be a step ahead to be a permanant employee, it's not. I took a paycut (which wasn't expected, but that is tolerable). The onboarding process is absurd. The online portals you have to use are the most user-UNfriendly modules you have ever attempted to access. It takes a solid 2 weeks to correct any of the mistakes as far as PTO and payroll goes. You don't get reviews OR pay raises. This is a deadend company to work for. I have heard good things about CGI in the public sector, but if you accept a position under CGI-Federal, you will regret accepting this job.
