Pros

The other collegues I work with are great to work with for the most part. I feel that my career has progressed at CGI in terms of more responsiblity and more technical challenges. The work environment is also pretty good.

Cons

Your work is subject to the client's demands. That is the frustrating part about consulting in general. A lot of your experience at CGI depends on the Business Unit you are working in and the client you are working with. You can get locked in to working with a certain client and it can be difficult to move especially if you become a key resource with your client. I was unhappy with my compensation for a while but I recently got a decent raise so it did help. But I feel that some of the increase in compensation was due to the fact that many good people were leaving.

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.
