Pros

Good retirement plan. Salaries aren't particularly competitive within the industry, but fine. Offices are attractive and comfortable. If you get a decent manager (although they don't last long), you can get some good, productive work done, with a minimum of drama.

Cons

Too many managers, with no real work to do. They get hooked on the latest fads they read about, and shove them down everyone's throat; none of which makes the work better, but merely fills time. The managers need to be given real work, not instructed to find busy work that interferes with the real work. During the recession of 2008-2009, the organization, which up to then boasted of loyalty to staff, laid off enormous swaths of people, some of whom had devoted the bulk of their working years to CG.

Pros

The bonuses and CSRP of 15% as well as many benefits are unmatched. I enjoy many of my colleagues and have made life long friends.

Cons

It was a great place to work and many will continue to feel that way until they are affected like those of us in the Norfolk Virginia office. There is no loyalty from the company and people are replaced either by a “vision“ of technology that doesn’t yet even exist within the organization or by cheap labor “offshore“. I thought I would retire from here and now I find myself out of a job after over 20 years before the end of 2027.
