      Carfully negotiate your salary before you sign on!

      Pros

      CGI offers very talented and dedicated team players that are willing to go above and beyond for the good of the company and in the spirit of helping the team. The employees are the owners and they take great care in cultivating a great team attitude and knowledge sharing.

      Cons

      Compensation is determined when you negotiate your salary and there is little room for salary increases above COLA once they have you on board. Benefits have been cut again and again and are teetering on unacceptable. All of the incentives and bonuses are dealt out to upper management, leaving chump change to the "worker bees." There is a joke of a 401k/retirement plan.

      So far seems to be a good first job

      Pros

      Flexible about working from home, or even from another city. Fairly laid back environment. I hear it's easy to move between projects and offices. I also get the sense that things vary a lot between projects and offices. Company stock share plan that is matched 50% up to 2% of salary. Reasonable vacation time, as well as other personal leave as needed. As mentioned below, sometimes things are very slow. During those times there is flexibility about coming in a bit late, leaving a bit early. There is a social club, and their events tend to be worthwhile. Many of your co-workers will be fairly young.

      Cons

      Variation between projects can be frustrating. Some teams have very little to do, while others are putting in 80 hour weeks. If you're not working from out of office or traveling, you will be working in a cube. Some technical consultants end up in relatively un-technical roles. For example, developers who do very little coding and spend most of their time support existing systems, upgrading third party software, etc. Working mainly or exclusively from home can be a drag, and some complain of missing personal collaboration with their team. Sometimes management's expectations are unclear. Sometimes the laid back attitude leads to simple tasks taking longer than is necessary.

      Pros

      Compnesation & Benefits are good and also the fact that they recongnize your experience and they give you 3 weeks of vacation to start. Also the offices are really good and coffee and water

      Cons

      Your experience will depend greatly on your manager.…”
