I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Pittsburgh, PA) in Dec 2019
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me detailing the opportunity with a quick list of questions about my background and expectations. Then gave me a call shortly to confirm and talk about the opportunity and answer my questions. She was very open and forthcoming so I didn't have to ask much. We scheduled an interview day where she gave a presnetation about the company, the role, and potential benefits. Afterwards I was able to ask recent hires questions of my own and meet hiring managers for the formal interview.

Experience with version control, data structures, past internship experiences 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.
