Pros

CGI is a big firm which gives you a great name on a resume you get to work with various types of great clients

Cons

CGI doesnt really have a good reputation in the public's view for certain types of contracts. contracts are often negociated very high and it gets hard to do business development unless you work with the businness development team.

Pros

They always need someone to fill a position, the salary for a technical agent is not the best but at the market average. It's in the center of montreal accessible by subway and bus easily. You can always move from a team to another as long as your team doesn't need you because of their SLA's which is the term used to define the % of statisfaction or the job done in a certain amount of time determined by the contract with the client. The employees are young you have 1 huge Christmas party each year which is free if you are part of the Social club.

Cons

They always need someone to fill a position since everyone is leaving after less than a year for a better salary and position. Don't expect any part of the share system if you are in the SI-TI which is all the groups for the customer support this sector is not making enough money to give a share. The employees move fast to meet their needs so you don't often have the chance to know them. Most of the applications used in-house are from the customer and are not eveolving which makes the job somewhat harder and stressful. CGI is not the best employer but is a good start for a student.

Pros

Great learning opportunities, decent compensation, great people. I've never had a problem moving into different positions. If you are smart and ambitious you can move ahead quickly.

Cons

Benefits are not great. There is no pension. If you get a bad manager your opportunities are very limited. The type of experience you have at CGI will depend highly on your manager. Getting into the right organization is very important as movement between SI (systems integration - programmers, architects, etc.) and OMS (operations management - support staff, systems adminstrators, etc.) is rare and difficult. I recommend SI.
