Pros

My experience at CGI was not positive

Cons

* Training material was given out 2 months after start date * Managers/Leads are never available to meet and go over any questions. * No work life balance, told they'd be more accepting with it as I was the local analyst and had family here, where as other colleagues flew in from out of state. * Felt disconnected from team as the out of state analyst/colleagues had their click. * When asking for clarification on 1200 page manual that I was supposed to read and learn all by myself for training the only direction that I was given was to go back and read the areas that I had already read and had questions on. * When I disclosed my disability I was treated differently from that point forward, and was ultimately terminated from my position because of my supposed lack of knowledge. *Boss was unavailable more than available and was told that I could not seek help from analyst from the client(Why should it matter how and who one learns the skills and gains the knowledge they need to succeed; as long as they are learning and gaining the knowledge it shouldn't matter who it comes from).

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.
