Great company and people to work with. Good culture and working environment. In some cases salary is lower than market standard. Have to work on multiple project which increases your utilizations. If you are on higher bracket salary, then for a long run this is a good company.

Dislikes

This year the appraisal was 1% for all hard work done, which is way lower than market standard. This made few resources to leave organization.Sometimes it becomes difficult to manage work life balance.

Very Good company, You will have job security, unless you are very bad. Consistent Hackathons and learning chances. Management is good

Dislikes

Salary for new comers is great but people who there from long time they dont get much. Many times you might be put into something that wont match your skills. So you fight hard to get what you want.

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.

Likes

Flexible with timing, management would respect employees when they spoke

Dislikes

...s favoured management. There was no good hikes even after asking multiple times. The salary isn't upto market standards.
