Pros

The company name looks decent on a CV for a short period. Good for people who want to stay idle, but a graveyard for ambitious engineers.

Cons

False Promises: Management hires senior specialists (leads) with promises of high-scale projects, only to park them on a "bench" for months. They treat experts as insurance policies, not as professionals. Toxic Cost-Cutting: When their business forecasts fail, they don't take responsibility. Instead, they pressure employees, reduce benefits, and create a hostile environment to force resignations. Unprofessional Exit: They terminate contracts instantly during probation to avoid paying the final notice weeks. Zero ethics, zero respect for people’s financial stability or relocation efforts. Mismanagement: Local SBU leadership is disconnected from the global corporate values, focusing only on short-term numbers rather than retaining talent.

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
