Pros

one of the best reasons to work here is that the company allows flexible work arrangements and is very understanding of work life balance. this is one of the best places for flexible work schedules. getting time off approved has never been a problem the projects are interesting and rewarding. you are able to work on various assignments of interest. this is a place where you can take charge of your own career and always have opportunities to learn. the best part of the job are the people. the people are great to work with, smart, driven, fun. my experience has been positive

Cons

since the merger there has been a definite change in culture and policies and structure. employee morale was on the low side for some time but seems to be picking back up. it is now a global multi national company with tens of thousands of employees so you often feel lost among the crowd. the company is not as flat as it once was and communication between corporate business unit levels to the staff is somewhat lacking. employee turnover is pretty high in comparison to industry standards. business units and projects are fairly separate so it is hard to get much interaction outside of your team.

Pros

Inclusive workplace; great benefits; supportive of personal and professional growth; decent compensation for the area; - especially given the benefits; great leadership; strong culture and values.

Cons

Can be ups and downs if you are in a more volatile area of work which has contracts come and go. AI has increased that volatility across the industry and CGI hasn’t been immune. Individuals experience can vary by manager, but it’s a very good company.

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.
