      Pros

      Big company, even in slumps don't tend to let people off. Management tends to leave employees alone on their assignments (don't intervein).

      Cons

      Feels like a religion and a very incestuous place to be, if you're not in the "Gang' you will always be ignored promotions and salary increases. Salary increases are always between 0-5% but usally in the 2-3% corner and doing a good job doesn't change anything. Unless you start looking elsewhere your salary won't go up. Even if you want to change technology, you better be prepared to wait a couple of years (3-5 years). Suck up employees will go far!

      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.
