I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Montreal, QC) in Nov 2014
Interview
Approached via email by an HR Recruiter about openings. They called me the following day and had a 20 minutes phone interview with the HR Recruiter evaluation my ability to communicate in both English and French. Gave me a brief detail of the position they were looking to fill and if I was interested. A personal Interview was setup during the call for the following week.
During that interview I met with the HR Recruiter I've been speaking to and she explained all the benefits the company offers and their culture. Also the type of work and a very detailed description of everything related to CGI as a Company.
Immediately after I met with the technical Lead for the project I was been evaluated. Lots of extremely specific questions about the technologies I've used. Lots of tricky questions and making the same questions in different ways through out the interview (my guess is looking to confuse me). I felt I didn't pass that interview since the person never even flinched, not even giving me a hint if I was answering correctly or not. Nevertheless, the next day first thing in the morning they called me to make an offer. I was able to negotiate the initial offer and bump the salary a little bit.

Step by step process of how to create specific objects with a specific Software.
It was just the very first interview with the company and we were communicated through phone. The interview was short as it was just to learn from each other and it was not a formal one.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI in Feb 2026
Interview
Plusieurs entretiens avec un RH puis un Business Manager.
Très bon contact avec l’ensemble des interlocuteurs et poste qui semblait intéressant.
Offre ridiculement basse et non compétitive vis à vis du marché actuel.
Entretien en visio de 30 minutes pour présenter son parcours, ses points forts et faibles. Si concluant, recontacté pour un second entretien technique avec recruteur et échange de questions générales.
