Pros

They are big but don't count on help.

Cons

Poor confidence in the ethics and attitude towards both clients and contractors. Time and again, have seen CGI force lowest rate possible onto contractors to push their own margins HARD, rather than looking for a fair rate that matches a contractor's experience. CGI pushes rate increases onto clients and deny contractors any share of increases when one is requested even after receiving awards from the client. Everything I have observed after 3 years shows me there is a lack of long term thinking in CGI, either to build good relationships with clients or contractors. If you want to get exploited, contract through CGI.

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.
