Pros

Pros include compensation and benefits, a nice facility, and some great people.

Cons

There was absolutely no work life balance in the finance department at CGI. Employees didnt feel comfortable discussing this issue with management because management was in the same boat. Multiple late nights, all nighters, 3 or 4 times a week were the norm for everyone in the department. No regard for activities outside of work. Coworkers were great down to earth people, but really no time to interact with them.

We appreciate your feedback. In the last few months, the finance team has put in long hours for the organization and we appreciate their dedication to the business; however, we certainly do not expect it to be the normal way of doing business. We will share this review with the team to facilitate a discussion about approaches for a healthy work/life balance for the team, especially considering the current business environment as a result of COVID. Prior to COVID, to allow our hard-working employees the opportunity to relax and socialize, the company organized multiple events to interact with staff at social events, volunteer outings and activities, like the family picnic. Given our social distancing protocols, we will continue to look for creative ways to connect and engage with our team virtually. —CGI ONETEAM

Pros

Chamberlain is a highly variable place to work. Everything depends on what team you are working on. Some teams will have managers who will fight for you and help build you up, others not so much. I have more or less grown up with the company and have seen it go from being owned by a private family to being owned by Blackstone and all between. Every year I ask myself, "is this the year I leave". My answer is usually no, as where else will be better when I am at least in a good position? Summer fridays are pretty great though.

Cons

Yearly reorgs are a constant drag. Some of the most CG-blooded people I have ever known are somehow always the first to get sent to the wood chipper. People flail around and react. There is no forward thought. Just constant reaction to whatever words the executive population utters. We have been 'transforming' for the near decade I have worked here. But what are we even transforming to? All I have seen is us transforming into yet another soulless company. Benefits have been getting crushed. My wonderful and amazing 401k service contribution was ripped away and replaced with a far less beneficial amount. If you aren't on a good team, or have a good manager, your chance for advancement will be near impossible. Constant 'do more with less'
