Most of the projects are older technologies, most are support projects, some time you may feel that you got limited opportunities to learn, learning is not that much good, hikes are some times less than 5%, some times you may feel like doing same type of work again and again

1. In CGI we have work from home option which is really essential and useful. 2. If you are a experienced member, then joining from day 1, you are a permanent employee in CGI which is good. There is no such kind of probationary period for experienced candidates. 3. Good work life balance. 4. Salary on time (before to last day of each month). 5. Having options to learn new technologies via internal webinar sessions. 6. Sometimes, they will conduct fun activities. 7. If you work hard and if you earn a name as best employee, you may eligible for receiving cash awards. 8. CGI provides many help to its employees financially and mentally during this pandemic which is really welcome one. 9. You may get many projects from different regions. 10. There is no strict time for login and log out. And no one will track you either you really worked 9 hours/day or not. Which is awesome. 11. You can even change your technology internally after completing 2 years in CGI. 12. Having good number of leaves in CGI. 8 optionals leaves, 12 casual leaves and 12 paid leaves. 13. You are free to learn any technologies in CGI....Read More

1. Hikes! Yes, most of the time you get very less hikes. 2. Before joining CGI, get as much as package you can. Once u entered, your ctc will raise in tutrle speed. 3. Most of the projects are support project. If u get a chance to work there, you may start to forget what you learnt before joining in CGI. 4. Rarely, very rarely, you may get onsite option. But very very rare it is. 5. CGI should find new clients with latest technologies. Most projects (in my domain especially) are having older versions. 6. Appraisals are just eye wash. You rating and hike percentage will be decided by your manager. If you question why i received less hike, you will face answer from your manager that, this is what the best i can do. All have received less hike this time. I have tried my best to give this hike to you. 7. In your CTC, 5% is variable pay. In which 3% you will be contributed to company share. And you can withdraw that share anytime. Remaining 2% you will receive as a pay out during every year december salary. Where you wont even receive 50% of it. If you ask why, you will get answer that, you and our project performed well. But globally, CGI didnt performed well this year. 8. If you dont want to learn new things, if you want to get what ever hikes they give, if you want to settle till age 58, then CGI is the best company. But if you dont want above, then join and relieve within 2 to 3 years. 9. Getting appreciation and awards are rare. Especially cash awards. 10. Some times, there will be lack of motivation in work. 11. CGI must try to retain best employees who decides to leave organization. 12. CGI must give hikes like 18% to 20% atleast even at the time of promotion. It really hurts, if we receive usual hikes even during promotion time. At last, come here, work, learn.. in max 3 years, if you feel didnt learn so much and your ctc didnt raised, then resign immediately. Do not stick here for long term....Read More
