      I have been working at CGI full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      I have worked in CGI for one year and for many companies but this company is so far the best company i have worked for. I am very happy with the way they treat their employees. This is a very Canadian company that truly values its employees.

      - Flexible working environment. They allow work from home.
      - Lots of learning opportunies from tenured people.
      - They pay for Trainings.
      - All people here are nice and respect each other.
      - Very supportive bosses.

      There are so many Pros to enumerate which is why people here stay for 15 to 20 years and which is why CGI is one of the top employers in Canada.

      - If you get employed by CGI you are very lucky person.

      Cons

      I cannot think of any.

      Advice to Management

      Great job.
