Pros

The process there is a sort of "too much", you will be easily stucked in documentation which makes you tired, not productive and not be appreciated by client. Not sure if the whole company like this or just its office in Atlantic Canada. You have to be always getting ready to find your next job as they may kick you out right after the engagement. The cultural of the company is NOT keep the smart people but cheap labour

Cons

You were told that training will be covered by company, but once, you require it, there are always reasons to refuse you. Not sure this is across the board or just in some offices

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.
