Pros

Paycheck comes on time. That's a good thing, right? Employee stock purchase program is a good deal. From a business side, they run a very tight ship.

Cons

Salaries aren't competitive and the benefits are sub-standard. Management doesn't give a crap about career development or career planning; all they are interested in is selling you. Titles and job descriptions are WAY out of whack with the rest of the industry. They don't value highly technical people and consistently reward mediocrity. And if you get rolled off of a project, you have three weeks or your fired; this doesn't make for a very good work environment when everyone is worried about getting fired.

Pros

-Challenging projects at good clients (sometimes) -Decent starting pay -Good healthcare benefits until 2014 and decent amount of vacation -the stock matching of 3% is nice. Not sure if that will continue in 2014.

Cons

-Does not value employees at all. CGI acts like a contracting firm. As long as you are pulling income for the company, they are not concerned about your career growth or if you even want to be at that project. -3 week bench policy and then you will need to find employment elsewhere -2014 health insurance plans do not pay for anything (including PCP visits) until you meet the deductible -Promotions are on the basis of internal favoritism, so that even if the client is consistently providing stellar feedback on your performance and giving you increasing levels of responsibility, CGI will find ways to deny your a promotion or a raise. -Bonuses & raises are based on a division performance. Divisions are done geographically, so you could have a lot of low margin performers, while your projects are some of the most profitable and as a result get little or no raise/bonus
