      Pros

      Great company, still led by the founder, focus on operational fundamentals and client satisfaction. Detailed frameworks are in place to support how we sell, how we deliver, and how we ensure that our clients are satisfied. I enjoy the work that I am doing, and the entrepreneurial atmosphere - I can communicate freely with fellow members across the company in a way that isn't inhibited by a strict "chain of command" philosophy; we are all focused on our goal of doubling the size of the company in the next 3 years, and doing so in a way that focuses on the client, not on us.

      Cons

      Dispersed work force, lack of an office culture.

      Very stable place to work, but not a lot of opportunity to excel.

      Pros

      They are a large company and many transfer options are available. They are involved in many industries so it's easy to find a project that you'll enjoy.

      Cons

      Getting a raise is like pulling teeth. The most effective way to get one is to get an offer from another place, which also creates animosity with your manager. There is a lot of redundant overhead, and the internal IT department is very slow and difficult to get a hold of.

      Pros

      The company is ever changing and it puts value in its members that deliver. It is a very large company that is trying to become a global leader. Its strategy of keeping a local focus works. There is a focus on each member's well being. Personally I enjoyed the Oxegen program, an employee wellness program, where member can go to the gym during lunch. There are also seminars where member can get to know more about healthier living. The montreal office being downtown is easy to get to by public transportation. It is a company with solid management, and generally make the right decisions.

      Cons

      Managers are consistently changing. Re-orgs are porly done. Your enjoyment of the company depends on the department you are in. The salary renumeration is poor. If you are joining CGI for competative salaries, please look elsewhere. Once in, it is difficult to achieve significant salary increases. You are best to leave CGI work for another company then come back, as any salary increase over 10% requires the approval of the CEO. An ackward position to be in for a member who has peformed and a manger that believes in his employee. as per fairness and respect, it is all depentant on who you get, like any company. Career opportunities are fine if you are new to the business. A seasoned expert will be out of luck.
