Likes

This is my first company so it is close to my heart. I have learnt alot, adapted new roles and responsibilities..must say were challenging.

Dislikes

Compensation and Benefits are very poor. They will give hike 1 yr and other yr hike saying both is not possible at same time.(Joke) I personally think they should stop pressurizing their members during deadlines. I have worked for 14-15 hors for a month continuously because of the client calls. But Mangers didn't value it. Time to time encouragement is required Don't take your members as granted

Dislikes

Some bunch of old school monolithic managers who don't understand technology nd are very opaque but good at definitely politics

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.
