Rude Managers

Pros

Working from home is a plus. I get to work from home as needed and I come to the office as scheduled, if I am sick I stay home so it works out pretty well. The stock plan is good and if you are smart, leave it and cash it once a year, I use it as a bonus.

Cons

So not everything is pretty here. I was moved from a wonderful team to the "ZOO" yes! My team got disbanded so I ended up in some horrible poor managed non- american team. Yes I believe I am the only english speaking person, so it appears. My manager is rude, always "offline" but they want you to work nights, weekends on top from your 8-5? They are crazy! Please as an advice, ask for a full description of the project, to include hours worked and what they expect from you. The so called "senior consultants" in another office are also rude, they can careless when you instant message them or they even yell at you on conference calls. Never in my life have I experience such behavior from an adult! The company provides the tools for the teams to be successful but if the manager don't know how to run a team, then all efforts are pointless. Oh, and they constantly interrupt while you are talking, so rude.. no manners for so ever, where do they hire these people from? What I don't understand is how they stay employed? doesn't anyone notice they are never online working? Not all manager are horrible though, I have had the pleasure to work with some amazing individuals but this last project sealed its fate, I am taking my talent somewhere it can be put to use and not wasted. If you dislike the team you are on speak up, if they don't listen to you, talk to the other managers, this is a common issue in this company, if nothing works, LEAVE!

Pros

They get good projects with major clients. That's about it really. Oh and you get unlimited sick time, but other then that, benefits are mediocre.

Cons

Extremely disorganized. Incompetent upper management. Focus more on making the client happy (and do a bad job at that) than keeping their employees happy. No room for growth unless you kiss butt. Benefits are lacking. CGI internal network and technology are a joke. (3 log ins to do dimple tasks)l. Overall a terrible work experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
