It’s a good company to start your career with given u have some knowledge of the process or system.
The Knowledge Trasnfer process is very poor as everything is over a call or screen sharing session, which makes it difficult for a new comer
Life is hectic depending on the project.

Definately a great place to work if you are less ambitious about financial growth. Almost zero micro management. Perfect place for experienced people to get settled or for longer run.
Not at all recommended for freshers. Very less salary hike and confusing apraisal cycle. Unnecessary hierarchy and complex organisation structure. Full off useless managers only drawing huge amount of salary just by talking in calls 2-3 hours everyday. IJP & internal trainings are all showoff. No use at all.

As a fresher, joining CGI has been a great experience for me. One of the things I really appreciate is the supportive learning environment. CGI provides excellent resources and opportunities for professional development, which has helped me build my skills and confidence. The company culture is also something I admire—it's collaborative, inclusive, and fosters teamwork, making it a great place to grow both personally and professionally. Overall, I feel valued and motivated to contribute to meaningful projects....Read More
There isn't anything I strongly dislike, but if I had to mention something, I would say that, as a fresher, adapting to the corporate environment and managing multiple tasks initially felt challenging. However, I see it as a valuable learning experience that has helped me develop better time management and adaptability skills. I appreciate how supportive the team has been in helping me navigate these challenges....Read More

Okay if you don't aspire to grow in your career.
Management is incompetent to manage the employees ambitions and aspirations. Lack of mentorship and guidance. How much ever you bleed for the org they rate you ME.

Shift allowance is something we appreciate. Working as a team culture is good. Members are cooperative, supportive and friendly.
Compensation Culture where no additional benefits for working weekends or no additional payments for more than 5 days a week work or additional hours.

Nothing exceptional to like
Poor project planning makes employees work for more than 12 hrs a day. Managers don’t understand the issues employees are facing they simply push people to work more hours.

They provide cab facility and free meal which are extra. You can learn different skill through their Academia portal (Similar to Udemy).
The management sucks here, they only need "Yes Man" here. Low appraisal and less perks.

Learning and development. Moving employees to different team with zero knowledge opportunity for everyone, even if they don't deserve it. Freshers gets trained on a subject for 6 months then put into production whatever skill sets they develop in 6 months of training
Yearly hike very low. Only when you join, so ask for more

They don't provide work after recruitment.. we need to apply by our own again in the IJP and it's really horrible..
They recruited me but while I was completing my notice period in my last company they replaced me with some other person and I sat almost 3 months on bench and literally I was worried about my job..

For emerging technology like AEM blockchain generative AI this company is not recommended. 50% of employees are staying here since more than 10 years they don't value the new tech. Only thing they care about revenue. Don't want to hire new resources on emerging technology. In entire APAC region they didn't have a single aem architect. They make it hybrid because they don't have enough space to hold 50 percent of Bangalore employees....Read More

- 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
