Aren't they the ones who fugged up the obamacare website?
Not the best reputation in state/fed work right now as a firm FYI they are struggling to get the work they used to. Deloitte fixed some of their messes.
Yeah, we took a bunch of their work at one of my clients because they couldn't live up to their promises
Yeah the screwed up the HC.gov work. Accenture had to fix it
They were a 3rd party contractor on one of my projects and the most incompetent, unhelpful group of people I've ever worked with.
Not recommended. Several friends worked at CGI and could not wait to get out of there, poor work culture and bad management.
OP what can we do to make you stay? 😔 don't go to CGI. I am afraid you will lose interest in tech consulting work (assume you are in tech) if you do. It's not the greatest place.
OP I believe a move form commercial to federal is easier than the other way around. Once things settle down after year end make the case to move. Just get the right PPDs to approve. Assuming you have good PPD network in Federal.
A consultant on my team worked there and hated it. Not worth the switch OP.
Ahh thanks for the advice, I hadn't heard much about them but have an interview coming up.
Why do you want to leave D?
I'm in commercial right now and wanted to move to move to VA for federal to reduce my travel. I am planning to try and go for an internal transfer once I speak to my counselor and get the year end ratings but a recruiter reached or to me from CGI recently so was just going to talk to them.
Looks like a consensus is that it's not a great move though. Thanks again for the inputs! I hope I'm able to work out an internal transfer to fed.
I know we are looking for people in VA/DC for Fed and S&L work I would suggest if you switch firms to come to KPMG over CGI for growth if you can't make the internal move happen
