I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Montreal, QC)
Interview
Very good in general and quick to hire. They will start off by asking your qualifications, travelling is absolutely necessary. Working at any hour of the day is also important as the teams are global. You should be comfortable working by phone and internet as you will likely not see the people you are working with.
The process was quite simple: I submitted my application, HR got in touch, I had an interview, and then the hiring manager conducted another interview. It appears that my candidacy was not successful, and the opportunity did not materialize.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (London, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
Straight forward. Single interview with a director, took the form of a discussion rather than interrogation and lots of opportunities to ask questions about the role and organisation. offer followed a few days later.
Applied online, received a call from them 10 months later for video interview - they had technical difficulties in setting up video interview but did the interview over the phone. Very basic questions nothing to do with the role l applied for.
