Pros

-Share Participation Program -Easy to transfer to another office if you're moving

Cons

-Salary -Benefits -Everything is managed in detail. Time and expense reports take an eternity to fill out and get rejected if you make a tiny mistake. You frequently have to give management a list of what you've been doing the last few weeks. If you've had a couple of 'calm' days with less work people start questioning if your role is really needed. In other words, job security is awful.

Pros

CGI is a company that, as far as I can tell throughout my 4 years here, values it's members over most aspects of the business. They understand that rewarding and supporting their members is the best way to get the best back out of them, which is both motivating and useful as en employee. CGI provides it's members with the opportunity to change Business Units or roles within a project based on which job best matches their skills. This keeps members happy as they are generally doing what they want to do, and works for the company because they fill job openings with people that will not only enjoy, but also be good at doing the job. CGI also offers a wide range of great benefits: -Bonuses (End of year & project performance) -Personal Performance Incentives -Member Discount Scheme -Share Purchase Plan -Healthcare & Various Insurances

Cons

As I have joined as an apprentice, CGI's inter-organisational communication, especially between themselves and education institutions could be improved upon. The company has not yet had much experience with Apprenticeships and Sponsored Degrees, and are still working out the kinks. However, throughout my time at the company, they have taken on board the comments of the students and are continuing to develop the education courses they offer.
