Pros

If you find the right manager and core project team and are lucky enough to stay on that project for a significant amount of time, growth and development potential is almost limitless If you are a hard worker you can get places Great benefits Self-help training site is good Outsourcing type project teams offer a great opportunity for growth and development

Cons

Not enough consistency among senior consultants on their ability or willingness to mentor There is no defined career path The training and mentoring of new college hires could be better Networking is the only way to grow in this company Staff augmentation type projects are a hindrance to your career growth as you will get lost and forgotten

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.
