What are the team outings like at CGI?
There are none for my team either
there are none
Every Friday the team went out drinking. Not a lot of fun. Watching my coworkers get wasted. They were good people but I'm too old to party like that. Waste of money and time.

Easy. Two phone interviews and hired
I got the job from two phone interviews. My resume did the heavy lifting.
How does CGI handle HR issues?
Top Employee Response
They fire you ASAP. It won’t be labeled as such. It’ll be laid off, riffed due to restructuring, something benign. But if you have an issue, usually with a manager above you, the manager gets to stay and you go. Even if you’re getting harassed. Even if you are more valuable to the company. Doesn’t matter. HR circles the wagons around their younger, business-process obsessed managers. Keep your head down and save your money. CGI doesn’t have your back.
Be very careful. HR works for the company first, and you second. This is normal and this is fine. To the point of the other reviewer, the company is more likely to side against the accuser when issues arise. Be very very careful going to HR. Do not expect the company or management to have your back.
What's the company culture like at CGI?
Micromanagement ruins everything.
If they like you, you stay. If they decide otherwise, they'll drop you in a second.
What's the office vibe like at CGI?
My team worked in a keycard access room so we were pretty much left alone to do our work. A great team of people. We had a great time together.
Frenetic. But I dug it. I could get into a zone and power through all my work while the buzz around me got tuned out. We all got along well too.
What interview questions does CGI ask?
What do you know? What can you do for us? Etc.
Standard stuff. No gotchas.
What do people at CGI think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
They don't think about him at all. They do their jobs as best as they can, which, for my team, was a very high standard. Improve? Hire two more people for the team.
We never thought about the CEO or the upper management. They never thought about us either.
How's the vacation policy at CGI?
Good. Two weeks a year.
One of the things that I liked about CGI was the liberal vacation time. 15 days off per year, earned one paycheck at a time, but one could use ahead and make up the shortfall in vacation hours. And there was no real issue with my team about scheduling the time.

What are your coworkers at CGI like?

How common is it to switch departments or teams at CGI?
You are hired for a certain skillset. They will use that set wherever they think it best fits their overall plans. But in my two years with the company, I was on one team in one place, with one goal. When it was decided they had used me up, I was let go. If there had been other positions that my skills would require, they would let me apply. Otherwise, nothing.

Eliminate all middle managers. Period.
