Pros

CGI provides lots of opportunity for diverse work assignments. They have a wide variety of projects and customers and are very open to moving employees around to different projects.

Cons

CGI does very little to encourage a work-life balance. They have caps on vacation and comp time, and ofter require very long periods of time where taking vacation and comp time are not possible. This almost certainly leads to lost benefits. There are no real policies or practices related to doing your job. While in some cases, this could lead to very efficient small groups, in most cases is leads to varying degrees of poor management which puts the burden for success on the lowest level employee who is unwilling to tolerate failure.

Pros

- Flexitibily for taking some time off the job -

Cons

- In December 2010, working hours in Montreal where increase from 37.5 hours per week to 40 hours per week without providing any kind of compensation to employees. - Information sessions from management consist essentially of endless statistics on revenues and profits. Management considers that aiming at an increase of x% in revenues and (or) profits - without a clear view of how it will be achieved - is a 'plan'. - Outside of it's subsidiaries in the US, CGI is a body shop, without any specific expertise.
