CGI Group Employer Reviews

We sometime work 13.5 hour shift and we are on 3 and off 4 days a week.

The daily task can variate to the different missions that are required per the government. Day to day task and management skills are required in order to adjust to those changes. Co-workers or my employee's are striving individuals that look for success and completion. An every day challenge is accepted as a task that will help you grow. The hardest – more... part of the job is dealing with the weather. – less

- typical day: provide support to a team of 49 employees, interact with all levels of management and the government customer
- what I learned: how to work with diverse personalities
- management: strong leaders with longevity
- my coworkers: day-time family, longevity, diverse personalities
- hardest part of the job: multi-tasking multiple daily projects
- – more... most enjoyable part of the job: assisting section members with issue (benefits, payroll, travel issues, etc) – less

It is a very friendly environment to work in but with little drive to be anymore than their conservative business model.

Great company overall. Too bad I got laid off due to lack of funding from the government.

Great company to work for I enjoyed the work hours, the volume of work on a daily basis. The co-workers were good employees and friends.

Fun place to work if you like to sit at your desk and not interact with others.

A day at work was wonderful. performed maintenance on aircraft and out buildings. performed launch start ups and inspections on the airplanes along with a pleasant and well trained group of individuals. The best part of the job was we had a lot of fun while working professionally.

I learned alot working for CGI, it is a typical work envirnoment. Do your required work that the company is paying for. My co-workers in all departments are great people to work with. I have no issues working here.

Days always start off with a status meeting to discuss what was done and what is left to do. I learned to develop and debug on complex software, being in a Configuration Management team, and manage a small team to complete tasks in software and software quality. There are some management and training issues that never seem to be addressed.

A typical day at work consists of taking phone calls from irate customers, who often have outlandish stories. One of the perks that keep the job interesting and never a dull moment. At the same turn, the calls can often be stressful and make for a long a day. My coworkers are great and I appreciate the lack of micromanagement.

Hated working there - Management is worthless and very unprofessional! No one knows what to do or what should be done.

Great benefits.Work with multiple government clients. Headquarters has a great fitness room.

Great atmosphere and people. Management is flexible, benifits are amazing.

A typical day at work were usually programmed workflow, therefore you know what to do each day, based on your portfolio.
I have learned more and received training and updates in areas recommended for productivity.
My past co-workers are all professionals and therefore, each one teaches one with new challenges or updates of company protocols.
The hardest – more... part of the job? Completing a 59 pages report in 5 days?
The most enjoyable part of the job is? Going out at least three days per week for conducting audits reviews. – less

exact staff kept me working @ different locations but never on a regular basis . only when work was available

CGI provided a flexible work environment. I was surrounded by many great and intelligent co-workers who were able to assist me with any technological questions. Everyone worked hard to provide advancements in the software being used for the men and women fighting for our country.

Great place to work for. I would come in everyday and get my work done accordingly. My supervisor did not mind me working on school work as long as my job was done first. Management here are very down to earth people that truly care for their employees. They would go above and beyond and help in anyway they could. Everyone that worked in this building – more... was always friendly and would always say hi when walking by. What I enjoyed the most was working with my boss. He is a great motivator and taught me that pushing out all the negativity that may be out there will help everyone in the long run. – less

Nice place to work for,challenging Env.

Employee friendly company

CGI believes in working you to death (16 hour days) and brow-beating you all the while. Micro-management is the daily style, even with senior employees. There is NO honest communication between direct managers and employees. CGI goes into companies and bids on outsourcing IT departments claiming to be able to "do it better for less" when they in fact – more... do it for ALOT more in the end. – less
