They were very limited with maternity leave. The days provided could’ve been more generous. Maybe it was because it’s a mid size and also a lot of senior leadership were men in technology.
It was hard to change projects because they didn’t have that many and a lot of the projects they subcontracted to another firm so they couldn’t call the shots. When CGI acquired TeraThink, we lost one of our major projects because it was a small business set aside. All of us had to find new projects with CGI while nervously sitting on the bench.
The merger with CGI (they’re doing this one project at a time and I believe there are still projects 2 years since the initial merger that are still under TeraThink) has created a company that is a totally different company. I loathed the culture at CGI and left a few months later. I didn’t realize how good of a company TeraThink was until CGI took over and ruined everything. Don’t bother applying at CGI unless you want to work for a controlling, old school men culture. We even had our PTO days reduced with the merger and they had to negotiate the reduction for those who’ve been there a long time (CGI wanted to give us 15 days when we had 25 days under TeraThink). Goodbye TeraThink… it was good while it lasted.
