-Competitive Pay -Multiple Investment options within Benefits

Cons

Within the Salesforce sector, it's clear this company has little clue about how a project is properly organized and run. The lack of technical strategy and organization has led to the team sometimes working extended days on a 8 hr+ long video call meeting. Many meetings consist of deflection of responsibility, team members sitting on mute when asked to give feedback/thoughts and after many months, there's still many factors of the project that are unclear about who is supposed to be doing what. Upper management will only reach out to you if they are feeling pressure from their higher ups to maintain velocity on progress and will randomly pop into meetings, yet not pay attention. Onboarding for the project to which I was added to wasn't provided, and several technical/project leads seemed mentally checked out after constant pushback and disorganization from leadership. Communication at this company is poor and a lot of the current work is done in silos and large segments of work are bottlenecked to 1-2 people, which make for fragile understanding of the technical implementation across the team. The processes involved with getting work completed is overcomplicated with too many steps and handoffs between teammates with different skillsets, and at times utterly backward from any project I have been a part of previously. During meetings there is no feeling of unity or engagement from my peers...This company is sucking my passion for Salesforce dry.

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.
