Pros

Decent benefits package with good pension contributions

Cons

CGI seems to operate by buying other companies and stripping everything good from them and giving the people who used to work in other companies the bare minimum. The laptops provided are very low spec. The commumication is terrible and comes from miles above from people who are totally disconnected to the realities of working on one of the lower salaries in the company. The message throughout the process of transitioning was one of 'shut up and stop complaining' when people were trying to raise valid concerns about the decisions being made. Having now been in the company for some time and seeing a new large company in the UK being bought I can see that this ethos hasn't changed which is very disappointing.
