Pros

The pay was just OK but not worth ALL the hassle when other jobs will have the background done within. Week and pay for fingerprinting

Cons

Terrible hiring process It went on 5 months and they kept stringing you along they asked me for prof of my monthly expenses and mortgage after telling me 4 times I had passed the background check getting me excited and I had to 75$ for my own fingerprint cards which I never had to do anywhere else I had ever applied. Mind you they had told me on the 4th background check that I had passed my credit check and the last part was to do a FBI background check that included them asking my references how my relationship was with my parents etc etc so unprofessional during this time I had applied at another job and my background check had passed with flying colors like always and I was hired within a week. It was the most tacky unprofessional and intrusive experience I have ever had. TERRIBLE completely unnecessary and not relevant to the job duties. I had to even ask if I had accidentally applied for a secret service position wow after all that I turned down the job I would never work for a company that is SO intrusive

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
