Pros

The other collegues I work with are great to work with for the most part. I feel that my career has progressed at CGI in terms of more responsiblity and more technical challenges. The work environment is also pretty good.

Cons

Your work is subject to the client's demands. That is the frustrating part about consulting in general. A lot of your experience at CGI depends on the Business Unit you are working in and the client you are working with. You can get locked in to working with a certain client and it can be difficult to move especially if you become a key resource with your client. I was unhappy with my compensation for a while but I recently got a decent raise so it did help. But I feel that some of the increase in compensation was due to the fact that many good people were leaving.

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.
