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.

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.
