CGI not a good company to work for

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good transportation facility but you have to pay from your salary

Cons

Take home is very less since you have to enroll in Share Purchase Plan and 5% is variable The managment is very unproffesional and they don't appreciate the hard work that employees put in every day. The company has no interest in building relationships with their employees. Standard operating procedure is to hire under-qualified people as cheaply as possible and contract them out at very high rates. Once the employee gets fed up with being abused and leaves, CGI simply replaces them with the next sheep and manager says i dont care if you leave Toomuch politics is played by the manager itself Will not give hike since manager says you are paid well

Pros

Of course everything depends on your project/manager/team mate. You may be stuck with awful people while your friend whose into a different project and has a cool manager gets to chill out more. taking all this into consideration. 1. Flexible timings 2. option to work from home. 3. shift allowance ( if your from any shift after 12pm,which i am) 4. Lesser people, better interaction with manager and more opportunities to do well , shine and get ahead. 5. No mandatory 9 hrs office. If your work is done you can leave. 6. pay at power with any other good company. 7. Paternal leave. 8. Really good options for people taking maternity leave as you can wfh. 9. Better hikes than most other cmmi 5 level companies. 10. Considers the employees point of view on matters of high importance such as take overs etc

Cons

1. Slower promotions. 2. Follow less processes, not very organized. 3. Less challenging/ interesting projects.
