Likes

1. Work life balance 2. Projects are interesting and good to work, if you are in development role. 3. Skill growth is good.

Dislikes

1. Salary is low if compared to work you will be doing. 2. Teams are usually quite helpful but not very competitive. This sometimes breaks your growth graph.

Depends upon project and business unit. For me , here in DataCycle360 and Wealth360, work is excellent means, you will get more and more work if you are able to do quickly so, learning opportunity is excellent, technologies is also decent as per industry, but if i think independently and don't compare with other company then carriers growth (salary) in terms of appraisal is not good.

Dislikes

Appraisal, salary growth within CGI, Hybrid mode of working, WFO, In terms of quality and quantities work delivered - More work is there based on current 9LPA CTC of promoted SSE atleast for me, by comparing with external hired SSE which takes 19LPA. So, Switching to other company is good rather than getting Promoted within CGI.

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.

Dislikes

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

Dislikes

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

Shift allowance is something we appreciate. Working as a team culture is good. Members are cooperative, supportive and friendly.

Dislikes

Compensation Culture where no additional benefits for working weekends or no additional payments for more than 5 days a week work or additional hours.

Likes

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.

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
