Svantaggi
I worked at CGI for a few years and for most of that time, my experience was positive. However, over the past few months—particularly following recent government budget cuts—the company's response has been deeply disappointing. Rather than handling a tough situation with integrity and transparency, I’ve watched the leadership team resort to questionable tactics. Instead of offering severance packages and treating impacted employees with respect, high-performing individuals were placed on Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) as a means to terminate them without consequence. This approach has not only demoralized employees but also undermined trust throughout the organization, including among long-tenured leaders and veterans. What’s most disheartening is seeing how CGI's competitors have navigated similar challenges with far more compassion and professionalism. In contrast, CGI’s handling of recent events has felt cold, careless, and driven solely by cost-cutting. Unfortunately, this speaks volumes about the company’s values. Based on my recent experience, I cannot recommend CGI as an employer. Proceed with caution.
