Pros

Share scheme provides much needed income boost. Benefits are good but not as good as they once were. If you're lucky to find yourself in the right team then the people are good - but you can find this elsewhere

Cons

Workload is enormous - handed over to 4 individuals when I left. If you're a developer prepare for your career to sit still and not be promoted while those consultants around you go up the chain to more pay and prospects while doing poor jobs. Very much a case of who you know and who you panda up to. Be prepared to do a ton of work for little or no gratitude or reward. Lots of staff on long term sick leave due to stress. Unwillingness to invest in talent or rising stars.

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.
