Pros

Nothing after they acquired Logica in 2012 and dissolved it. I really wish I could think of something nice to say about CGI, but they were so awful to work for.

Cons

They will hire you for one job, be very misleading and then once you start, they will fire five others and assign all of their work to you with no additional compensation. If you complain, they will say too bad, don’t like it leave.

Pros

Recognizable name for resume. Management doesn't scream to get a message across. A few projects offer decent technical learning opportunities (but not many). Emphasis on work-life balance. Many social activities.

Cons

High deductible health plan. Salary and raises are *low* for industry. Most career growth opportunities are for "functional" people. Managers don't scream, but some can be P/A to a degree that borders on pathological. A lot of work is done poorly overseas and/or by highly fragmented teams spanning multiple time zones. Bad communication at all org levels. "Work from home" doesn't always mean the work gets done. Positive annual reviews may require face time at social activities.
