Pros

Steady career, great salary, great benefits, work from home option (huge plus).

Cons

Recent initiative to bring work-from-home employees back into the office is a huge negative. A large part of CGI's workforce are millennials and they are expecting to be able to have flexible working options. Let's face it, we all work behind a screen. What is the reason for needing to be in the office?

Pros

many PTOs, great dental insurance, very high deductable medical

Cons

I worked at CGI and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. I was terminated for sending an email to my personal account, which felt incredibly unjust given the circumstances. The work environment is extremely demanding, with employees being required to work 50 hours a week, including weekends and evenings from 5-8 PM. This workload is unsustainable and leads to burnout. I had hoped to advance my career by obtaining a certification. Despite submitting the necessary forms twice, my project manager completely ignored my requests and didn't even bother to reply. This lack of support and communication from management is disheartening. The project I was involved in was poorly managed, resulting in it being over budget with 100 people working on it. The project status was "red" and the government customer was extremely disappointed with our performance. We missed the go-live date by an entire year, which is unacceptable and a clear indicator of the systemic issues within the company. Overall, my time at CGI was marred by unprofessional management, unrealistic expectations, and a toxic work culture. I cannot recommend this company to anyone seeking a supportive and balanced work environment.
