Pros

Unlimited sick leave - but high accountability Flexible PTO Smart coworkers Supportive environment With long term contracts and large clients, little need for travel if you don't want to Self-directed career growth Great social club organization - 3-4 events per year, all paid for with a small payroll deduction Good Corporate Social Responsibilty - several efforts throughout the year to provide for the underserved (habitat for humanity, soup kitchen, Alzheimer's Walk, etc) Very strong senior management - not willing to sell out and wants to establish a long-standing company. Stock purchase plan is great, and employees are encouraged as members to have input into corporate strategy. Diverse workplace.

Cons

Easy to get too much work handed to you if you don't manage your own boundaries. Career growth is a double-edged sword. You are in charge of getting what you want. Management is very supportive, but will not come to you necessarily with advancement opportunities on a silver platter. Some pay disparity between men and women.

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
