Pros

Good place to gain experience after graduation. You'll get exposure to many different technologies and have the opportunity to work in many of the clients business areas.

Cons

-Lack of work life balance, you'll be expected to work overtime without pay -Conflicting priorities, unclear project goals -Large workload which will never be completed on time, you'll have to explain to the client why things don't get done -High turnover, rarely will you work with people who have been on a project more than a year or two -I was on call for almost 6 months straight, with the possibility of having to respond within 15 minutes to a page 24/7 -Management will basically lie to get what they want; it's a very cut throat environment

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.
