Pros

CGI is just a paymaster, when it comes to a employer-employee relationship. My satisfaction derives from working at the client site where I have earned my stars. The experience I have gained in working across 100 legacy mainframe applications, is what's making me a stable and realiable stock. The benefits offered by CGI is pretty good. They offer a 1/1 stock purchase plan(that is if you buy one cgi stock, cgi credits your account with one stock). For 401K, they have a good formula. Increases as your salary increases. The formula is hourly_rate*0.04*0.5*2080=annual value that CGI credits to your 401K account. Commuter rail discount - if work in a high cost of livng city like Boston, your are reimbursed for your monthly MBTA fare. For example if you live in the MBTA Zone 6 areas around Boston, you are re-imbursed 12*223(cost of a Zone6 rail pass)=2676.

Cons

The account management at CGI does not make use of the capabilities of account members in furthering and seizing strategic initiatives. If you are stuck in a particular client site, you could be there for a very long time!!.

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.
