I worked for CGI for less than a year and the experience was cool but the salary and benefits were miserable on top of that, advancement wasn’t that easy even when you work hard and get new skills
Points positifs
Work culture
Points négatifs
Salary, advancement
CGI provides contractors for the clients.The employment depend on ability of management to keep relationship with clients to keep projects going, that is not always happened. In my case communication with client was broken.
As this was my first job in Canada as I am an immigrant, it was a good experience. My manager was wonderful and very encouraging. Great supervisors too.
Points positifs
Good benefits and pay was higher than most call centers
Points négatifs
Rude clients
- Overall organizational structure is very traditional and bureaucratic.
- Management is more focused on earning Sales- Revenue than employee retention or well being.
- There are frequent lay-offs every year.
- Every year, they go for re-structure and it is stressful.
- Mid Level management is not transparent in many cases.
- Supervisors are not Team oriented, so it's really difficult to Trust management's approaches.
- A good place to earn experience, but, Definitely Not a place for a long-term career, as there be the business modality is complex.
It's a big company where you're a number. For any advancement you need two things, look like you have always running to do your job and timing. They don't really care about employees and you really need to negociate your salary because they will try to lowball you for about 10000$ a year.

If you have good experience and skills don't loose your time. Very poor management.
Very sad unhealthy employees. Work environment is so intense and stressful.
You'll have a balanced work/life as a CGI employee. It's easy to talk to management and they're pretty much responsive when you need them to be. People are very nice and friendly and try their best to help new members.
Decent benefit, lots of fun events and a lot of useful training courses.
Worked at client site thus, little exposure to CGI company culture. However, the company does have wealth of resources that are managing other project and able to recruit those subject matter experts to find solution. Good company and good technical support overall. Unfortunately, if you're working in remote site, and stuck with a manager that doesn't perform their duty, you'll only get to see them once a year during the yearly performance review which can be extremely biased as there was little to no interaction with my manager most of year and they are not aware of the projects and items of accomplishment outside of the operations.
Points positifs
Good exposure to different industries
Points négatifs
Can get stuck with incompetent manager that are technically inept
Pros
If you are on a good team it's great. Decent benefits if you take the time to maximize them Flexible schedule depends on contract
Cons
Some old mentality on tech projects from some people. Most of the work it's done by a few people smart enough to do it. Seems like they hire anyone sometimes
Advice to Management
Have some type of competency testing at hiring. Why keep people that derail projects? You will risk the project.
Points positifs
you are on a good team it's great.
Points négatifs
Some old mentality on tech project
Variety of projects to work on. Great visibility while working with various assignments. Timely managerial reviews, freedom to express opinions. Very employee centric, frequent work events, great client engagement.
A good company to work with. The management is good and the work culture is good as well. Learning curve depends on the project that you are being allocated.
The company needs to review its training of new graduates.
Management can do better in terms of assigning trainers and assigning appropriate assignments.
Very high expectations from graduates without proper training.
Points positifs
Work Life Balance, Brand Name
Points négatifs
Politics, training
CGI has a nice workplace culture and presented very interesting challenges, The HR department is very helpful and all the Management teams I had the pleasure of working with were supportive.
Management supports in all issues at the Client Place and is approachable at any time.
There is work life balance. I learnt to deal with the Business.
Lots of opportunity to get involved with big enterprise projects. However, you may get lost (forgotten about) among large programs or initiatives.
You'll meet lots of people at this company - people who lied to get to where they are today, people who are too smart for their own good, people who are lazy, people who are helpful and people who you want to have on all your projects.
Some people work a few hours a day, some work most of the hours in a day. I think it's luck of the draw.
Points positifs

Could get stuck on bad projects for years, could get stuck with terrible managers, boring, opportunity to get forgotten about
