I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2011
Interview
I got a call an email from HR asking me suitable time to have a telephonic conversation, then HR called me at the time fixed, he told me that he will forward my resume to the technical lead for further review. I got another call from HR asking me to fix a telephonic technical interview which was scheduled after 2 days. And then a third and personal interview was set with Directors mainly to understand my presentation skill and if I can get set in the company's culture. Then within hours I got verbal offer over telephone. Finally I received an offer letter in 2 days with 3 days time to confirm or reject.
The interview process was a really positive experience. The interviewers were approachable, the process was transparent, and the conversations felt genuine. I felt comfortable throughout and appreciated the way the team engaged with me.
It’s was 2 interviews that were conducted over a few days. First interview is a phone interview and the second was a video/ virtual one. Tea was the first person
First round was a behavioral interview after meeting the recruiter at a career fair at my school. Second round was at the headquarters in Fairfax. I would coordinate with the recruiter throughout the day, but the interviews were with current employees. All the interviews were behavioral, but they asked about technical experience as wel.
