Pros

Company has shown many examples of being willing to accommodate personal requests, such as working from home and time off for personal issues.

Cons

The company runs projects with little up front planning and generally mitigates issues by adding more un-prepared resources. Additionally, there is little training opportunities to develop new consulting skills and little opportunities to use new technologies. Finally, the company does not fairly recognize the work of its employees. A person is able to hide in the background or put in the minimum work effort and still receive the same recognition of those that work weekends and nights.

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
