Pros

None. The only good thing about the job was the client, as their work was interesting and their influence was awesome encouragement. I think I got a sick day...Once.

Cons

Poor Management Poor Pay Poor Work/Life Balance (24/7 was required a few months after starting, but wasn't mentioned during the interview). Please avoid this company at all cost. Any positive review is worthy of suspicion. I worked on a high enough level I got to see the discussions held about my own position and, somehow, management was none the wiser. "He'll do whatever we ask him to. We're cutting his check." - My Manager to my Director about me (from his phone, via Google Chat), not realizing he was still logged into his laptop I was currently working on.

Pros

The people I worked with I truly loved.

Cons

MY WORST CAREER MOVE. I was over 100% billable for the last 18 months, and both clients consulting work ended within 2 weeks of each other. This led to a 6 week break from being billable, which is when I learned CGI has a 3 week allowance for being “on-the-bench,” as we say in consulting. 3 weeks hit and I was let go, which is fine. This was the worst career move because they tied my severance to a one year non compete with any of their clients, which essentially makes me unemployed for 12 months in the industry my background is in. CLASSLESS, yet I see them getting recognized as a great company to work for. Be careful joining this company.
