Pros

Good place to gain experience after graduation. You'll get exposure to many different technologies and have the opportunity to work in many of the clients business areas.

Cons

-Lack of work life balance, you'll be expected to work overtime without pay -Conflicting priorities, unclear project goals -Large workload which will never be completed on time, you'll have to explain to the client why things don't get done -High turnover, rarely will you work with people who have been on a project more than a year or two -I was on call for almost 6 months straight, with the possibility of having to respond within 15 minutes to a page 24/7 -Management will basically lie to get what they want; it's a very cut throat environment

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.
