Pros

tele-commute option for many positions, casual environment, travel if you want to client sites. There aren't a lot of good things that I can say about my employer. Filling this out reinforces how much I hate my job.

Cons

absurd number of hours expected, work/life balance difficult to maintain, project managers who are generally incomptent with software that is marginal quality. many managers, not many experienced staff and limited product knowledge, poor documentation. The expectation is to work 80+ hours, and it contributes to burn out along with bitterness between staff. It is time to move on toward a different career path with quality products and a better salary where employees are valued.

Pros

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Cons

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.
