Pros

They are pretty good at rewarding based on merit to an extent. They give raises to better employees and give good opportunities to hard workers. They offer interesting work and good stock matching benefits as well. All around I’ve been pleased with my experience, but they don’t have enough room to award everyone the raises they deserve.

Cons

They could be better at retaining employees. Though they’re good at rewarding on merit to an extent, a lot of times they only offer raises if a competing offer is brought to their attention. This has happened many times on my team when they actively tell employees to seek out other offers so that CGI can match the offer. This has resulted in employees taking the offer they were told to obtain. The compensatory time/ flex time also has to be used before sick leave, which doesn’t make sense to use accumulated rewarded time before designated sick time.

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.
