Pros

One of the biggest player in North America and around the World.

Cons

You have to fight a lot to be recognized as a good player. CGI Group is also looking for new players from India where the salaries are lower than average. They don't tell you but if they have the opportunity to replace you by another ressource with a cheaper salary they will... Normally, this reality should be taken as a "challenge" and "opportunity" to do better and be more competitive but the odds will be against you... Sad but true... To "survive" in this company, make sure to have a good career plan and stick to it...

Pros

tele-commute option for many positions, casual environment, travel if you want to client sites. There aren't a lot of good things that I can say about my employer. Filling this out reinforces how much I hate my job.

Cons

absurd number of hours expected, work/life balance difficult to maintain, project managers who are generally incomptent with software that is marginal quality. many managers, not many experienced staff and limited product knowledge, poor documentation. The expectation is to work 80+ hours, and it contributes to burn out along with bitterness between staff. It is time to move on toward a different career path with quality products and a better salary where employees are valued.
