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

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.
