Pros

If you are willing to drive your own career, there is nothing stopping you applying to different roles internally. CGI have business in quite a few industries so there's a decent chance you can find an interesting role. This opens the door to some great opportunities, if you put yourself out there.

Cons

Salary is on the low end. You can get a raise once a year on top of any promotions. The standard issue hardware isn't good enough for software developers and there's lots of resistance to buying appropriate (more expensive) gear.

Pros

- A great place to gain experience especially for entry level positions. If you are new to the industry I recommend learning as much as possible and sprucing up your resume while you look for jobs elsewhere. - Work/Life balance is not bad for the most part... But I constantly felt drained at the end of an 8 hour work day. - I've met some great people (Although, you can find great people elsewhere too.)

Cons

- Management is awful. They will ask you for feedback and if you offer any constructive criticism they will argue with you and get defensive. Excuse me, you asked for feedback and your employees are doing you a favor whenever they respond. Clearly you are too insecure to be able to receive anything constructive and that's why you only want 'yes men' to work for you. They don't care about your aspirations. They only care about the bottom line. They can't even admit it because they are in denial. Absolutely delusional. Bismillah. - This is a great place to get brunt out. There might be some projects where things are good, I wouldn't know. - The teams are so insanely dysfunctional. There is so much potential for something great to be made but the projects I've been on have suffered from terrible mistakes made by the company. (Not hiring the right people, poor leadership, no training, etc...)
