      Former AMSers

      Pros

      CGI Group (CGI) acquired American Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) in May 2004. For approximately 2 years, the United States division was known as CGI-AMS (as a way to continue the brand loyalty of AMS clients). Right before AMS was acquired (at the time, CGI tried to sell it to AMS employees as a "merger" - no one bought that), the morale at AMS was poor. For awhile after the acquisition, the morale among former AMS employees went down. This is pretty standard. Over the years, there has been some improvement in making the former AMS employees feel as if they belong to the company, but for the most part, people still think of themselves as "AMSers". This doesn't seem to get in the way of everyone working together to get the job done.

      Cons

      As with most firms, different people have different experiences. I wouldn't disuade anyone from applying to CGI.

      Be prepared to work your heart out.

      Pros

      CGI seems to have it going on when it comes to technology -- far better than DoD (previous employer). While i hate the fact that they make some of us move to certain areas, it is good that some people can stay where they are and work remotely. CGI does provide us with some great training -- that is actually beneficial -- you will never be bored. I even have seen how my former employers could do things better if they would do things like CGI. CGI sees the benefit of things like LiveMeeting, InfoPath, and Messenger. I like the fact that CGI does Profit sharing as well (even though i currently don't take part).

      Cons

      You either are REALLY busy or have nothing to do -- there never seems to be happy medium. A lot of people sit on the bench before being assigned to a project. That means that they have nothing to do. If you have nothing to do, you still have to sit there for 8 hours. Another thing is that for some projects, you have down time of not hours or days but MONTHS. And the worst thing is that before we get comp time, we have to go over by 15 hours. Essentially we are giving CGI 15 hours of our time every pay period. That is awful. I could understand five or six -- but 15?

      Easy mobility and laid back atmosphere make for a nice work environment but a bad place to advance a career.

      Pros

      Easy to move from project to project. Not hard to move from technical role into functional one. Very liberal leave policies and easy to get time off. Culture is pretty relaxed and easy going

      Cons

      Many co-workers are not of a very strong caliber. Few people are very self-motivated and the lack of competition among workers means that things take longer to get done than at other places.
