      Positive Outlook

      I have been working at CGI full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Good work/life balance. The Data and Analytics group Victoria are fun and knowledgeable. Local work (or day trips to Vancouver)

      Cons

      Pay - they call it the "Paradise Tax" to live in Victoria. Worth it for me, but be aware you can earn double the salary in Seattle.

      Advice to Management

      None.

          Disapproves of CEO

          I have been working at CGI full-time for more than a year

          Pros

          Training is encouraged and paid

          Cons

          Basic benefits, heavy micro management and layers of approvals everywhere. Everyone needs to know and be involved in every single approval. Manager, their manager, and their manager. No one will take accountability, they always have to check with their manager. Delays, slow and suffocating. It all leads to inaction and mediocre outcomes

          Advice to Management

          Give actual autonomy, not say you have autonomy but still require approval for everything. Encourage mistakes, learn from them and move on. Create a culture of trust. Pay market rate. Follow the corporate goals for the fiscal, don’t just spin it to fit your actions into them.

          I worked at CGI full-time for more than 8 years

          Pros

          Great benefits and profit share

          Cons

          They have little care or respect for those support staff working in non-billable positions. If you are not working in a larger office location, they do not offer much room for career advancement.
