Vantaggi

I was given a lot of responsibility early on, management were reasonable, work life balance was good.

Svantaggi

There were a lot of people who were not very serious or competent, taking a lot of breaks and not doing much useful work. It was hard to find competent senior devs to look up to and learn from, as a junior dev I felt like I was at a similar level to the seniors quite early on so it was not a great place to learn and grow. The technologies I was working with were old so it was not a good place to build my CV with modern frameworks. A lot of work was for government so if you don't like a lot of bureaucracy you should probably avoid working there. My salary was also quite low so when I switched jobs I had a huge pay increase. There was also a lot of internal bureaucracy, meaningless courses to complete, endless forms to fill out etc so not good if you prefer real work on useful tasks.

Vantaggi

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Svantaggi

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
