I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Lebanon, VA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I was interviewed during the college recruiting process. I didn't have any experience and was still a senior in college getting my IT degree. I attended an interview day. It consisted of an HR presentation, three back-to-back interviews and a panel of current employees. During the back-to-back interviews, we were asked to write a simple SQL select statement. It wasn't a requirement of the job, but rather a preference. Other questions were mostly behavioral although one question really threw me off. 'tell me a joke' was not prepared for that one haha Very laidback

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a deadline, difficult client, weaknesses, etc
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.

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.
