I applied through college or university. I interviewed at CGI (Fairfax, VA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Hiring Process overall took about 1.5 months. Met CGI reps at a college career fair. Did my first round of interviews on campus and then about 1-2 weeks later received an email to do an on-site interview a few weeks later. Went to the on-site interview and there was a nice introduction followed by a lunch panel and then 2-rounds of interviewing(with 2 different interviewers). Might be the other way around depending on if you interview in the morning or afternoon. Mine was in the afternoon. Told we would hear back in the next week. Got an offer a few days later.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CGI in Jun 2026
Interview
In the initial stage interviews are faster when it comes to last stage "UAN" verification its dead slow. After this HR is not responding properly. Initial stage its quite easier to get information.
CGI scheduled the interview for 30 minutes and there was only one interviewer. He initially asked basic questions about background and experience. He explained about the company and was open to questions
Was super laid back and casual, the interviewer was super nice! Still had typical interview questions (describe a time where..., etc) but overall pretty stress-free first-round interview.
Lasted about 40-45 minutes as the interviewer was very conversational as well. Only advice I can give is to be personable and have a conversation.
