Pros

Work is steady, and you never feel like you're sitting around doing nothing. Most of the people are kind and make an effort to help you.

Cons

Management is awful. Bosses treat you like you're stupid. Pay is stingy and the higher management seems blissfully unaware of current inflation and its effects on lower level employees. Work from home is looked down on and actively discouraged, even when employees stress its importance to them personally. the company is more focused on diversity targets than on improving the daily life of the workforce; we received numerous emails about diversity initiatives but barely any for mental health support. Person I worked for was racist and was comfortable talking about how much better they were than me because of their race. Pay is atrocious in my opinion based on the amount of work and nonsense I had to deal with the entire time I was there.

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.
