Pros

Fair compensation for market place, decent work-life balance for employees. It can provide you with a steady job with minimal room to grow, if that is what you are looking for.

Cons

Crowded at the top, minimum room for advancement. The growth opportunities within the company seem minimal at this point, with the recession and lack of any internal or external growth with in the last 4 years. Big push on out sourcing work to India, and trimming costs in North America as much as possible. Stock price is back at same level it was 5 years ago, with no dividends paid.

Pros

The team for whom I worked was great. One of the best.

Cons

Other teams not so much. Herding cats and you end up taking over on an IMC call for something not even in your sphere. I feel they blacklist employees they RIF. I had a great Director try to get me in with other BUs and nothing. He tried again and again. Others who got RIF'd told me the same. Not good. Also, seems people look over their shoulders looking for the Grim Reaper. Not a good way to be. And the higher ups that are in charge of client retention seem to not be the ones on the firing line, only the consultants that did great work for the clients who decide to leave. HR who is supposed to help get another job within the company are worthless. They want you to do all the work. Also, CGI is so big teams only know what they know. Learning other teams' stuff seems to be frowned upon. How can you move around? This login makes you stuck.
