      Neutral Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

      I worked at CGI full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Good benefits Flexibility to work from home from time to time

      Cons

      Yearly salary reviews were ridiculous (in 2015, they offered 1-2%) No company culture to speak of, very corporate Very strict processes that come with the business' size

      Advice to Management

      Stop trying to promote software developers who have no people skills whatsoever to team leads or project managers just because they have more than X years of experience... That never ends well for their team or the client.

      Pros

      Great people, many opportunities for personal development, the ability to find change when interested and constantly evolving models to help clients, employees, and the company build value.

      Cons

      As a highly competitive outsourcer handling both low-cost and high-services areas, it can be an environment that constantly pushes all of efficiency, deadlines, downloading of work to subordinates without compensation, or implicit potential future compensation.
