Pros

The other collegues I work with are great to work with for the most part. I feel that my career has progressed at CGI in terms of more responsiblity and more technical challenges. The work environment is also pretty good.

Cons

Your work is subject to the client's demands. That is the frustrating part about consulting in general. A lot of your experience at CGI depends on the Business Unit you are working in and the client you are working with. You can get locked in to working with a certain client and it can be difficult to move especially if you become a key resource with your client. I was unhappy with my compensation for a while but I recently got a decent raise so it did help. But I feel that some of the increase in compensation was due to the fact that many good people were leaving.

Pros

Lots and Lots of Overtime - excellent experience for anyone without any qualifications - they are very supportive of anybody they manage to hire.

Cons

No advancement (or very little) - Lower than Industry Average pay, very little kudos for jobs well done. People cutting corners, no synergy at all among different depts.

Pros

Great work and home balance. Generally, co-workers are intelligent and very friendly. There a lot of good managers who have great management styles. CGI structures its groups in a flat manner; I could talk with the director of my group with no problem. CGI sponsors a social club at each of our locations.

Cons

A very lax culture that many abuse. Some employees showed up at 11am and left at 3pm. Doesn't matter if you try to stand out many have a "whatever" attitude. CGI hires bodies instead of skilled workers. A co-worker of mine was hired as programmer analyst and had no knowledge of any programming languages, not even SQL!
