Pros

Not many....but will list below: 1.) Flexible with the ability to work remote 2.) Good company to kick start your career, but get out after 2-3 years 3.) SPP

Cons

Oh so many to list, but here goes: 1.) Would rather hire someone for less pay and have them work over 40 without decent pay raises. 2.) Poor management. They do not listen to your opinion. Clear example of the current generation gap going on right now. The company doesn't recognize growing trends in your everyday working American citizen. Their competitors like Workday (now Accenture), Deloitte and PWC will eventually push the Canadian company out. 3.) No career development. It's like a free for all and will place you in just about any billable position regardless of skill just because it's business and all they care about is the bottom line. Don't worry, this will eventually backfire on them. 4.) No training. Scrum training? Project Management certificates? They just don't do any of this for some reason. Big fail here. 5.) Does not follow laws like OSHA. For example, I had to work on a client site for several weekends without the air conditioning on in the building. One person on my team fainted due to the heat. Very unsafe working condition. 6.) Additionally, they expect you to make up for the time you spent flying to and from the client site and will not allow you to record those hours as worked. If i recall, this is a violation as stated on the U.S Department of Labor website. Thanks. 7.) No time for management to mentor their employee's.

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
