CGI

"Don't be afraid to ask for what you need and want."

"They have a process and new ideas are not welcome. "

"I wouldn’t work here unless you are friends with leadership. "

"Don’t. If you are young, then yes. I’d you are older, then no. "

"Get involved! There are many internal programs that help bring women together and also provide opportunities for mentoring and career development. We have many women in higher leadership positions and as well as influential women across our company's footprint. We have seen an increase in women being promoted over the last 2-3 years."

"CGI has a lot of great women leaders in high positions. I've worked for and learned from many strong, talented women leaders. CGI is still working to improve the balance of women at VP and above, but they have clear goals and a plan to get there."

"Interesting, varied work in a caring and flexible environment. Need to do more work in ensuring that women are given equal opportunity for stretch roles and for promotion, including targeted development plans and succession plans that emphasize promoting women."

"CGI is a great place to work and grow professionally. You will be provided with the opportunity and encouragement to share your ideas and be part of successful solutions for clients while immersed in an unbeatable culture among members who will quickly become friends. "

"CGI Federal is very collaborative and making great strides to continually improve diversity with both early career and experienced hires. Additionally, we are are open about discussing how we can do better and have added many resource groups, communication strategies and initiatives to improve our inclusivity. "

"For me, Its a great place to work. I'm supported by upper management by both male and females. This is honestly the best employer I've ever worked with. I actually like my job."

"We have so many women in leadership roles. This company is so supportive of both men and women when it comes to a work-life balance and dealing with any sort of family or health issue. I have never felt more supported than I have working at CGI."

"Establish your boundaries early on, especially as a remote worker. It is easy to feed off team members that do not take breaks/work after hours, but it is important to create your own boundaries and take a break when needed. Look at the leadership that has been developed with women. Take advantage of the opportunities presented, even if they don't make sense at the time."

"CGI can vary greatly depending on what location you work at. Be sure to get a good idea based on interviews/reviews what your office is like."

"There is ample opportunity at CGI and flexibility in what direction you take your career. "

"Entrepreneurial culture that allows a platform to grow personally and professionally"

"The people, autonomy and flexibility are great; moving away from remote work options and no focus on maternity benefits or developing women and POC."

"Be very careful. I don't believe this is a good culture for young women. There are men at this company who can be good to work for, and I have had managers at this company who are wonderful. However, I have also experienced, and hear others experience, managers who do not care about issues facing women in the workplace to the point of being dismissive of concerns raised. The issues raised go from a disparity in pay between men and women at the company, to inappropriate comments being simply part of the culture. I would strongly recommend against young women in particular working at this company. I do say specifically "men" you may work for as there are so few women in leadership positions that it would be unlikely that you would be working for a women. This company is well below industry standard."

"CGI is trying to make improvements for women in the company. The lack of women in leadership is something that is often discussed, and I have faith that improvements will come. "

"If you are skinny and pretty you won’t have any issues with success"

"Pace yourself. Work smart and don't expect recognition or promotions. Work hard but do it because you want to, not because you expect something for it."

"CGI embraces their members as if they were family. Great culture."

"Great Place to start your career. Lots to learn. Very professional environment."

"Learn about the business unit/organization you would've joining. During my 11+ years I've been with CGI, many women have been in top leadership positions. It seems contradictory to say women being promoted is why I am dissatisfied, but it is very apparent in the organization where I work. The practice I am part of mirrors Silicon Valley rather than the rest of CGI. My directors only care they get no negative feedback from the project or client I support. Otherwise my work and contribution mean nothing. "

"You get flex about an option like working from home but do not expect to move forward in your career at all. They will put you in a position and you never get out of it."
