Pros

Brand name, benefits, annual tour

Cons

Poor work-life balance, Senior management is one of the worst I have seen so far. The people handling the Guidewire Practice Team are like a bunch of clowns. They treat you like slaves and expect you to work 24 hours a day. Your work is never respected or credited for. Currently lacks technically sound people to guide newcomers, as they have resigned due to frustration. Too much of internal politics lies within the team.

Pros

CGI gives lot of benefits to employees including bonus at the end of the year and diwali gift( pretty decent ones). There are ample of opportunities to learn things specially for freshers. Regarding policies: CGI is an employee friendly company. It allows employees to work from home, there use to be Member satisfaction programs where feedback is taken from employees regarding the work culture, compensation and benefits. If you are not satisfied with something or need any improvement, this is a best and effective way to communicate directly to your manager. Apart from it, a skip level meeting is being conducted once in a year with higher management. Policies are transparent. Targets are tight and the company's growth is really aggressive.

Cons

Even being 5th largest IT service provider, CGI doesn't give salary and compensation structure of CGI is too stoic. It doesn't pay as per market standards. People have to work 9 hours a day and additional half an hour for client commitment.
