Pros

I really like the work atmosphere and people I work with at CGI. Although I cannot speak from personal experience, I get the impression that other similar consulting companies (Accenture, Booz Allen, ect.) are more demanding of their employees. At CGI, things seem a little more relaxed. I typically work 40 hours a week, and have all my weekends off (of course there have been a few exceptions to this rule). Also, the people that I work with are great. They are smart and work hard, but are also fun and easy to get along with. I also think the work we do is interesting. I think the benefits are really good overall - however, the 401k match could be improved. Finally, the company seems to be doing fairly well.

Cons

The pay might be a little less then some of the more demanding companies I mentioned above; however, I still feel I'm paid a good salary.

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.
