CGI reviews

Pay is significantly below industry average. CGI has some of the worst benefits and the most expensive health insurance I've encountered. CGI is one of those shops that throws bodies at jobs regardless of the person's experience or career desires. Since CGI it's a consulting company there is very little opportunity to work with current technologies or to learn new skills. I worked for CGI for 5 years and during that time I was never given the opportunity to work on projects using current technologies (5 years of working on .NET forms doesn't make for good job experience). There is no opportunity for career growth, when you quit you'll be doing the same thing you did when they hired you. You'll be treated like a cog in the machine by CGI and you'll quickly find out they will discard you at any down turn in business or when by they lose the contract you are working on through incompetent management.

Unless working at corporate level, all positions are attached to an assigned client(s). Once assignment ends or moves to maintenence, employment ends unless YOU (not HR) can "find" a job within the organization. Severance is minimal. Consultant roles are like FT contractor w/benefits. I would not have accepted the role had I fully understood how the entire process works during tenure.
