      Ambitious people should avoid this place

      Senior technical consultant

      Pros

      Fringe benefits are OK, work/life balance was also OK, at least for me.

      Cons

      I've seen the worst-demonstrated business practices applied across all functions in CGI. Complete lack of vision by upper management. Business in still managed as a SME. A lot of nepotism, career opportunities are definately not aligned with your performance. Poor communications, poor internal systems, poor decision making. Ambitious people should avoid this place, you won't be able to make a difference, even at VP level.

      It'll give you good experience but too few opportunities for advancement.

      Pros

      I deal with many clients on multiple platforms. This gives me good exposure to a large section of the industry. The share purchase plan is alright but they only match you 2% which isn't much seeing as there's no pension.

      Cons

      They advertise "PROFIT SHARING" but they never share the profit. Every year they find a new way to alienate my business unit and after announcing millions upon millions in profits we never get a share of it come profit sharing time. There's NO PENSION which makes you even more mad when they swindle you out of profit sharing. The senior management clearly favour the Montreal business unit, as it's based out of Montreal.

      Stagnant, uninspiring company

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They were good with work/life balance issues. They have this idea of compensatory time when you work extra hours, so almost never had an issue with having enough vacation time.

      Cons

      The company is too corporate and straight out of the tv show "the office". Communications are handed down from the top with no explanation of the company's strategic direction and vision. They seemed genuinely proud to be the "8th largest" IT company in the world, and never did management explain if/how they planned to move up in that ranking. Reviews and promotions were arbitrary and often you could be promoted without a pay raise, because raises and promotions were on different cycles!
