Pros
Employee benefits package is okay, and compensation is reasonable but still under the market rate
Kontras
CGI UK hires people in anticipation of contracts they haven’t secured yet. If those deals fall through, you’ll be let go with little support. Their touted “flexible” and “remote” working policies are mostly superficial, your work location is dictated entirely by client demands, especially if you have a high-level clearance. Promises made during recruitment about development, support, or inclusivity often don’t materialize. Adjustments for disability or neurodiversity are dismissed by middle management because they’re seen as a cost liability to the client. Career progression is non-existent; you’re a resource to be billed, not a professional to be developed. Turnover is high most people leave within 1–2 years. If you’re mid-career and looking for a place to grow, this place will likely stall your development. CGI is focused on contract wins and billing hours, not on investing in its people.
