Has anyone moved from Accenture Federal to CGI Federal at Manager/Senior Manager level? Looking at Strategy/Organizational Change Management roles, and curious to know if you feel that compensation and benefits were worth it when measured against your actual experience once you started working with CGI. (I understand that some of it depends on the account you're on, the team you have, etc., just trying to decide if it's worth considering.) Thanks!

The problem with unlimited vacation is everyone feels pressured to not use it. It's a scam
Unlimited vacation - latest scam in the race to the bottom
I see you aren’t being a team player, let’s talk about those 22 days you’ve taken off so far.... I know we offer “unlimited” vacation... but that is 22 days too many. Is everything ok?
D1, STA1, PwC1: Literally what happened at the office. Seniors used to have 22 days PTO. I got a "you're sure taking a lot of vacation for a senior" talk when I asked for 2 days off around Christmas time and I took less than 22 days including those 2 days lol.
In addition, a huge reason they are doing this is that vacation no longer accrues in this situation, so when you quit there is no payout necessary by the company. No liability on their books. BDO keeps reducing the maximum hours you are allowed to accrue for the same reason, trying to reduce that liability.....
Take more than 5 weeks, what Deloitte offers, and see what kind of feedback you get
Having unlimited PTO is like having an engagement with no internal deadlines. Just get it done at a “reasonable time” and everyone will be happy. Actually just creates more stress for everyone.
No they paid out the unused vacation at the time of the switch, so people actually saved up on vacation days.
@Deloitte 1 - it’s literally as it sounds. You can take as many days off as vacation/PTO (provided they are approved). HR doesn’t give a shit how many days you take, the people above you in your service line are the ones that’ll question your work ethic and fit at the company if you start using too much for insignificant reasons.
I don’t buy it
Wtf is unlimited vacation and how does it actually work? If you use more than a certain amount does HR start getting in your business? Is this a real thing?
I thought it actually worked very well. I had one of the highest utilizations and took 7 weeks and everyone was happy (and rated exceeds). No one told me I was taking too much. Guess it depends who you work under. Idk anyone who has had issues... just one guy who abused it and was let go for many reasons (that was definitely not the sole reason)
Garbage policy. It's bad for the firm too, IMO. If people don't use PTO, burnout will be even worse than it already is.
Shortsightedness and greed at their finest.
GT1 - how could you possibly have the highest utilization with 7 weeks of vacation? Or are you including holidays?
People wait to max out accruals before taking vacation? Y’all need to chill out and take a day off or two ... I promise you won’t get fired.
Unlimited is fine, but they should set a minimum that everyone must take. How the hell do we tell our clients they need to force key people to take vacations (for various reasons) then give our own crap for taking too much. Now everyone can be happy that there is no PTO payout and if things are slow there can be some flexibility to get a real beltway from work.
Or anyone else that has seen this situation. Ex colleague works at client that is potentially being bought and acquirer has unlimited vacay. So he’s thinking he should use all his up now as likely going to lose day 1 post acquisition - any thoughts?
Consistently had one of the highest utilization rates even compared with associates, so not sure what the problem was.
So many people only take vacation when they’re getting close to maxed out on the accrual, I can only imagine how much less people would take if it were “unlimited."
