I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CGI (Fairfax, VA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Process involved two interviews, first one very standard, questions about yourself, personality, how you react in different situations. The second interview, my interviewer spoke most of the time, which worried me as I didn't really get to explain much of my thinking, skills, or mindset to him.

Describe a challenging situation that you were in and how you handled it
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.
