Pros

At this point no pros, used to be a good company,

Cons

Company is hiring only juniors at this time, to pay less. Highly educated people are hired for technician positions. Managers will crush you, only to make you leave, because you are paid too much. They will stop at nothing. No respect for the employees. No possibilities of advancement, unless you are plugged. All the 'dream', to enjoy working together, and we will respect you, and we are a team of builders, is just slogans. Management does not care about this at all. Once your salary gets into their radar, it is over for you. There is no limits to what they will make you go through, they will be wild animals, and they will devour you. It will be all absurd, and will make you wonder if you are actually in the 21st century, or you landed in the 19th century managed company. All this in the name of them keeping their highly paid jobs. They will call you a "doer" in-between closed doors. They are all above doing! All benefits are one by one going away, each year one less.

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.
