Interviewed Nov 2011 in Lebanon, VA (took 2 days)
They had a group presentation with a basic overview of the company. This followed with a Q & A with three younger employees who all had good things to say about the company. The flexible hours seem to be pretty hyped up. Hotel/Travel is paid for. Interview process consist of three separate interviews: a leadership, technical, and analytical. I was pretty impressed with everything in general other than the geographic location of the office. Other than that this seems like it would be a great company to start of at for an IT Consultant.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 1 week)
I was called for a basic phone interview to determine my interest and willingness to relocate. After this interview, I was requested to do an onsite interview and was paid expenses to travel to the location. The interview consisted of a company presentation and then two one on one interviews. One interview was technical in nature while the other was more analytical.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
This was a one-on-one interview with a college recruiter. It lasted about 30 minutes and no difficult behavioural nor technical questions were asked. The recruiter began by describing the position I applied for, followed by a brief conversation about a previous internship experience of mine. The overall interview experience was neutral, as I wish the representative had been a little more conversational.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
The interview Panel had less experience than mine. I really have doubt on the quality of the people they hire. The person who took the interview had shown some attitude and he was like mugged up few questions for the interview and the questions are very common. He is playing the role of software Engg/Senior software Engg, where he had been asked to take the interview of mine. I am playing the role of a Lead in a company. I think in other Indian companies at least they have better interview process than CGI (I might be wrong). There was no question related to the current role and responsibilities in the current organization and about the project that i am doing or the challenges that we faced. Instead of that, like an inexperienced interviewer (Which i biliv he was) was asking some unnecessary questions which i thing was not required.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2+ weeks)
I got a call an email from HR asking me suitable time to have a telephonic conversation, then HR called me at the time fixed, he told me that he will forward my resume to the technical lead for further review. I got another call from HR asking me to fix a telephonic technical interview which was scheduled after 2 days. And then a third and personal interview was set with Directors mainly to understand my presentation skill and if I can get set in the company's culture. Then within hours I got verbal offer over telephone. Finally I received an offer letter in 2 days with 3 days time to confirm or reject.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Lebanon, VA (took 2 days)
First I emailed the college recruiter and set up a time to interview on-campus. Then at the interview they asked behavioral type questions. After this they contacted me to attend an onsite interview where they had a general presentation by the Lead Manager of the Commercial side of CGI, followed by a group presentation by HR going over benefits. Then we had an open panel interview with other employees of CGI where we could ask any questions of the employees to get an inside perspective. Then the afternoon was three 1:1 interviews consisting of behavioral questions for two of them, and then a skills test. Everyone was very nice and the interviews were mostly relaxed. There were 20+ people interviewing at the same time I was. Everyone was very nice and CGI treated us very well with lunch and dinner.

Just know that since this is an "offshore" employment site that the pay is a little lower, but the location is a very low cost so the pay difference balances out.

Review of Initial Interview
The interviewer was somewhat following a script but the interview was still mostly conversational. The interviewer was pleasant and energetic. This was a get to know the candidate interview and question were of the how do you deal with conflict, have you ever lead a team, why are you a good fit for this job, etc. The last several minutes of the interview were dedicated to questions I had.
Overall the interview was a very pleasant experience and I got invited to a second round of interviews.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Durham, NC (took a day)
I'm a Software Engineer, but I was approached by CGI for a Tomcat Admin position. I'm in the area, so there was no phone interview before the onsite (part of the reason is also the position is low profile). The interview day organized but not as much as it should be. After 2 interviews, both sides knew that the position is not what I was looking for. However, CGI never returned or followed up on the result of the interview.
