Pros

During my time at CGI I've had the opportunity to work on a lot of interesting projects, the variety of work has been very motivating and also one of the major reasons I've chosen to stay with CGI over 15 years. The general culture is good to, although there are office politics and some weak managers around on the whole it's generally BS-free and a pleasant place to work with everyone focused on delivering an excellent service. The top management is very strong and have made some good decisions over the years that's enabled CGI to grow steadily and remain financially strong. The training on offer is very good to and it's seen as a key part of CGI maintaining a competitive advantage.

Cons

There really isn't as much mobility through CGI as you're sometimes led to believe, moving country seems almost impossible for example. Salary & benefits are based on industry average, which CGI seems proud of but to me I think if you offer the average then you attract the average. Post-Logica acquisition things have changed dramatically in Europe, virtually all middle management and most of the senior management is ex-Logica. I've gone from having a good working relationship with my boss, fostered over many years, to being lucky if I get a response to an email from my new temporary boss (and I don't know them well enough to say if it's just incompetence or sheer workload that's responsible, what it isn't though is good management).

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.
