Pros
The best thing about this company is the people. There are a lot of nice, smart and hardworking people working here. They aren't treated all that well by the company, but they put forth their best effort none-the-less.
Cons
CGI sets the standard for how cheap a company can be run. We hit all our profit and revenue goals last year and to celebrate they threw us a Holiday Party. It entailed cookies and soda in our 12601 building lobby at lunchtime. I'm serious. Talk to anyone who works at any of our competitors in the industry and compare their benefits and salaries with ours and you'll soon discover how much better they treat their staff. This company scrimps over every penny they spend and you can feel it in everything they do. If you need a binder, you run to Staples and buy it yourself because the requisition would have to go through layers of approvals otherwise. They'll bring in people to give us flu shots but then make us cough up the $20 to pay for them, even though they'll be billing our clients thousands for every staff member who avoids getting sick. Cost of living adjustments are disguised as annual raises and the only time they give a real raise is if someone critical to a project threatens to leave. Stuff like that. And it's not because of this recession. In CGI Federal we hit our growth and revenue goals despite the tough economy. And well before this recession this company was treating it's staff poorly. This company is cheap, cheap, CHEAP. If you need a job and don't have other options than this place is better than nothing. But if you have alternative offers from competitors, you can most likely do much better elsewhere.
