Pros

* Easy work * Easy to get along with coworkers - has an 8 hour policy per week for self study but good luck using it with all your other tasks. -lots of different leaves

Cons

* Enormous amount of corporate BS, looking good is more important than being good. * Terrible directors/managers and management, layoffs all the time. Pay attention, it's quite literally the cookie cutter layoff story and corporate red flags. -no bench policy -incompetent hr -disrespectful of time and expectations, especially for interviews and after hours -weak ability to advance, learn, get raise -return to office mandate all the seniors and directors love, but makes no sense and has huge impact on upper management liking you. - you will get cut immediately and with little notice -weak culture of bringing up junior employees, you will always hear "hit the ground running". -low PTO cap compared to every other company that only raises cap by seniority. Otherwise mandated pto -knowledge siloed into overworked, older employees that have no time to train

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.
