Pros

It seems like everyone I meet at this company is genuine, friendly, and helpful. I joined CGI out of college and in 3 years my salary has increased by 40%. My managers have always had my back and have worked with me closely for finding project opportunities. The benefits are great - particularly the Share Purchase Program, in which CGI matches 100% of your Invesment in CGI stock up to 3% of your salary.

Cons

Opportunities for career development are relatively limited. Career growth for the most part is limited to CGI specific IP. This is great if you want to work at the company for the long-term and don't mind being a "SME" in CGI's software. However, this can be limiting if you are a young professional looking to explore career paths and build transferrable skills. Work culture has taken a hit as the reverberations of covid policies have lingered. Limited travel + limited office interactions has left me personally feeling disconnected from the company and the people I work with. Even those living in my city don't seem to give a hoot about connecting and socializing with one another.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad you found the entry role to be low stress but understand your concerns about salary, management support, and growth opportunities. Our goal is to foster transparent leadership that is committed to helping our CGI Partners achieve their goals. We always encourage our employees to bring up concerns with their managers who can then listen and help look for a solution—whether that is adjusting your current role or helping you find a new role within CGI. We've started implementing "stay interviews" where CGI Partners can honestly share their passions, what is going well, what isn’t going well and where additional support is needed. We ask questions like, “As you start work each day, what things do you look forward to?” and “What can I do to make your experience at work better for you? Learning about your experience is important and provides insight as we continually strive to make things better.

Pros

- It's easy to switch between projects - The work-life balance is there. - Friendly members - The health benefits are above industry standard.

Cons

- The pay is 30% lower compared to other big consulting companies; CGI justifies this by reminding you that you have a work-life balance. - Promotions are heavily driven by being well-liked by upper management. It's not a complete meritocracy.
