Pros

Work from home option Good work life balance Good if you are settled in your life & want to focus more on family & not learning and growth I wanted growth in my life & was lucky to have moved on from this company, but I had to do that with lots of struggle. Think twice before joining so that you don't have to undergo this mental stress at all

Cons

The company is full of false promises People joining here as software engineers are made to work on age-old technologies & thus lose the opportunity to learn new things which reduces their market value People joining as business analysts are made to do manual testing which is not a work of a business analyst at all which again makes them unemployable outside Most of the quality work is reserved for on-site people in US & Canada hence Indians are expected to do menial works. Company management has a 20-year-old philosophy notwithstanding the present market scenario of IT industry I was hired as a business analyst & for a pre-sales role (as per job description). I've worked for almost 1.5 years as a manual tester. Few managers think they are like untouchable super gods & treat their employees like slaves & use abusive languages

Pros

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Cons

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.

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.
