Pros

CGI is a good place to get your career started as they have many opportunities for advancement if you are proactive. In order to grow at the company you have to be a self starter and an autonomous individual. Sitting around and waiting will leave you stagnant. In terms of training there is no structural training program at CGI so you need to be able to pick up on things by asking the right questions and again being proactive. I think This is a good organization to work for they are more outspoken about social issues than you would expect and have good members within the organization.

Cons

No structured training. If you are not able to pick up on concepts mostly on your own you will not grow in the organization.

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.
