Pros

CGI is a very great company to work for at the start of your career or in the middle. Workplace culture is very friendly and open. They allow you to work from home however much you want. They have flex time So you can work up to 8 hours extra one week then get the same amount of hours off the next week. The medical benefits are pretty good. The vast majority of the health insurance premium is paid for And you are covered day one no worries about starting at beginning of a month and waiting a month for coverage. They have a social club that's throws parties. The holidays are floating holidays so you can use it just as vacation time.

Cons

The natural career transition from Junior dev to middle tier dev is difficult to happen at CGI (in 2022). If you are a junior dev have plans to refresh your resume and start job hunting after around two years here. Have coworker with 3 years more dev experience than me making only a few thousand more than me a jr dev. I guess the turnover of good coding coworkers is another con from this. If you are coming to CGI for a senior position It's also a good place. The 401k match is also lack luster. Used to be a 50% match on up to 3% now it's a 50% match on up to 5%. So it's gotten better but not much.

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.
