Pros
There are some good, intelligent people working within the company. Good work/life balance. Share Purchase Plan. Incredible IP from CGI global, just lacks awareness and expertise in Australian BU.
Cons
As mentioned in previous reviews CGI Australia used to be great, but since the acquisition of Logica it's really gone backwards in a big way. Used to feel as though you had a future in the company and were made to believe that you could work your way up, not so much anymore, you're just an anonymous 'member' at the very bottom of the pile (of 70k+ workers globally!) No work. Great people sitting on the bench for way too long and as a consequence the office culture is very negative. People thrown at work that is not their area of expertise just to get them off the bench and billable. Possibly the worst HR and finance systems I've seen anywhere - no one knows how to use any of them and no one knows who to ask for help on them. Too many emails on changes of processes are very confusing - who knows what staff are actually required to do, it will be different next week. Staff have actually undertaken activities to setup their own processes due to lack of direction from management. Aging laptops given to staff are hardly sufficient to undertake their work. Take a day of personal leave and the whole of the Australian business unit is made aware of it - public shaming, The Delorean sick leave system has gone back in time to the 50's. Office network speeds aren't great. No career path - there is no difference between a consultant, lead consultant, senior consultant, they're just names. Management operating like Mick Gatto.
