      Business Outlook

      Pros

      able to learn .. very fast paced environment and if you are aggressive with your career plan and follow it, you can advance and have a good career. the opportunity is there to learn many different skillsets and if you are active in your training requests and ensure that you push for it, you do have the chance to accomplish a lot in that regard, and to get certifications that help you along the way. They are accomodating when it comes to requiring personal time, depending on the situation, and i have no complaints about being able to handle family issues without negative impact.

      Cons

      not very good with processes and procedures, and in many cases it is close to impossible to implement a service improvement plan or process and get buy in from management...too many 'cowboys' when it comes to things that can negatively impact P&L...too many internal structures to fight...so it becomes difficult to track performance and difficult to ensure that anything gets improved. You have to fight for salary increases and minimal bonuses despite work performance, which has led to a less than motivated staff. When you feel that nothing will change regardless of the effort that you put in, it's difficult to maintain motivation.

      Pros

      As a company, it seems to be a decent enough place as an entry level college graduate. There are rare occasions when you will work with managers who excel in leadership, but it wont be often. Entry level salaries are competitive and there are spotty areas worth being in

      Cons

      There is no real push to succeed or over deliver. The US operations of CGI are a conglomerate of acquired companies which have yet to be integrated correctly. There seems to be very little internal growth and there is very high turnover for new hires. The company does a lot of its work on government contracts and has a tendency to hire large numbers of recent college grads to back fill ongoing projects to complete testing with no discernible training or advancement opportunities. No perks to speak of really, and an overall atmosphere of discontent among new hires, and an atmosphere of bureaucracy amongst management
