- Not good for Entry to senior leadership roles and Architects especially if you are someone passionate on latest technologies, they don't have innovation/very tiny , so almost NO scope for sandboxes. therefore don't expect use of latest technologies unless you are exceptionally placed into some special teams. - This is an organization with very low scope internal movements. - Extreme legacy, Most of the leaders are in-house grown , have been there since decades / have rejoined, i have noticed them too low on accepting new things , there were cases where staff members were referred by senior leaders and PM had to just take them. - Operating model ; Onshore so called Prime BU and Offshore model. Don't be surprised if you end up working with internal people only without facing client. - Members Surveys (MSAP) : This is just crazy they have something called member satisfaction assessment program , which is a survey by all employees against their management, which is again crazy i have noticed many mangers(including Managers, directors and above) calling their immediate associates and asking their subordinates to "rate them well" as soon as survey is launched. Not sure what is the purpose of MSAP if this is case ? - Org hierarchy : They have 2 streams of hierarchy beginning entry level to senior leadership teams. one stream is delivery another stream is experts: Delivery stream is responsible to executing delivery related activities , expert is technical , in my exp almost none of delivery stream people knows most fundas, they don't even understand the Job description. Most of the technical directors and VP's and managers " prefers to work in isolation" . The "next" level managers most of the times are only supportive to their immediate reporting manager. - This is the only company i have seen where one of the member was awarded for highest learning hours and whilst on bench and this was considered as one of the point to deploy them into a project and the person is someone who was referred by one of the VP , on the ground most of team members had concerns it seems. - No proper engagements in Centre of Excellence teams - Delivery tech staff : This is no different than most of the IT MNC's where majority of the freshers are deployed to handle projects without adequate training. For a question one of the senior manager asked the response from senior leader was "respective reporting manager should sit along with freshers on the project and train them " and that never happens. - Insurance : Not up to mark - Governance: Better systems and automation is still possible....Read More

Company culture and environment is very good. Company will conduct so many events for employees to make them happy

Dislikes

No Job Security, Politics I have a worst experience in my career. If your not a billable resource. You have only 2 months time to get projects. After that HR will force you to resign or they will terminate us. I joined this company because of the job security. Peoples used to say this company have job security even in interview thehiring manager used to say this and negotiated the package. But after moved to bench peoples are showed their real face and I didn't see such a politics. If you have a good rapo with your manager, then you will project. Also one things I wanted to add to you peoples, ask the project name before joining this company. Dont join Project name called Linga, it was a hectic project and most of the peoples are new to CGI in this projects they dont know the team handling. They dont know MNC Culture...Read More

Managers managing resources are given too much freedom. They are like gods in the company. They make or break employees's careers. Such liberty leads to un ethical practices. A little monitoring on managers by senior management will be good

Team collaboration. If u want to get comfort zone then join this company, if u don't want to improve yourself then join this company, if you don't want financial freedom then join this company. Cgi is not for those who are creative and want to do more in their career , No innovations in cgi

Dislikes

No hikes, No onsite oppertunity, future depends on the project u been assigned, micro management , No skill development . Internal politics is more . If you perform way beyond expectations then also u won't get good hike or promotion, manager stick to 1 negative point of yours .

Work life balance is good along with good job security too unless you are on bench for too long period. Most people behave respectfully in the organization

Dislikes

They have CGI academia for upskilling however no opportunity to get into new projects as no manager entertains or contacts them when they are on bench. Also salary increment was max 3% last year, well below industry standards.
