Pros

I work with many intelligent and driven folks. The company cares a lot for what client's wants and needs . We have been allowed to work remotely before Covid and since.

Cons

No clear promotion path. Each business unit has specific percentages of each title. Which means someone as myself that has been with the company for 22 years has no hope of promotion unless I leave the business unit or the company and return. My salary increases have been pitiifall for 10+ years. The 401k match is not great. The model in the last 10 years seem to be to just give the staff additional work without compensation or appreciation. They no longer do anything for the employees such as a holiday appreciate gift. Holiday parties. They also got rid of the "giraffe awards" which was an award that if you won it you were giving a gift card of appreciation.

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.
