Pros

This job is in Huntsville, Alabama. It also is rewarding to know you are supporting the Army, NASA, etc. It is a job and you receive a paycheck every two weeks.

Cons

Raises are very low esp. for women. They have been known to pay females that do the same job as a male employee, a lot less. They got busted for it during an audit. They do not want a women in charge. They like to keep women's salaries down because they do all the work and they make a huge profit off them. The company seems to find ways to take more and more of your paycheck so you take home less and less each year. You can get a letter from your customer that praises you and if you are female they do not care or acknowledge it. They will acknowledge the letter, read it in the meeting and give the male a bonus but will not mention the females letter. Even hand a bonus to him in a meeting in front of the woman who got the same type letter. The management seems to hoard the raises and give them to themselves. They promote management when they should not be in the position because they have no experience except brown nosing. That is the only reason they are where they are at and still get promoted. They lie to make themselves look better. They backstab and talk about the employees under them. They tell inappropriate jokes that are on the verge or are racist. These are not good management skills. They allow favorite employees to charge overhead for a year and a they send others home. They have to use all their PTO and then they have to take unpaid leave. It is government funding and you may have it one year and not the next. The company including your boss sees you as a number, what kind of profit you make. Insurance is a High Deductible plan and is very expensive. You have to pay between $6000-7000 out of pocket a year before the insurance pays.

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.
