Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 days)

Applied online from CGI career site. It was a consultancy role,long term for one of their clients in GTA. The recruiter was very professional but was pushy.May be because they had a hot requirement. I had one f2f interview with director and solutions architect and one phone interview with SVP (This was just a formality, as the director didnt wanted to take responsibility of recruitment).
--Interview Questions
- Majorly Behavioral -- Why you want to change your job? Describe your strengths? Are you okay with travel?
-Technical: Design patterns (Gang of Four), facade, MVC, factory. Interface vs abstract class
-- Team handling: How do you motivate people? How do you get your work done. How does onsite offshore model works.
Overall they were trying to check my capability to handle their team and client. Anyonw with good consulting experience will crack their interview.
The offer was given to same night at 10pm and they pretty much forced me to join.

Interview Questions

Describe onsite-offshore model in your cuurent team.

Reason for Declining

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.
