Pros

Good share scheme, pension and other benefits. Found it to be a good starting point for career but little room for progression.

Cons

Management is extremely poor at a company and local level. Some projects are extremely managed. There is a lot of work place politics especially between different sites. Teams in leatherhead communicate poorly with shared services teams in Bridgend and blame them for work which was completed poorly in Leatherhead. They also make you travel up to a different site with simply a days notice! If you want to get anywhere you have to make the right connections and you will only do so if your face fits. Recognition and salary is poor and the only way to get a pay rise is to leave and come back.

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.
