I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Fairfax, VA)
Interview
The interview process was smooth and efficient. It began with an initial screening with the recruiter, followed by a single interview with the Project Manager and Team Lead. The entire process was completed within 2-3 weeks, which was both timely and well-organized. I appreciated the clear communication and structured approach, making the experience seamless and positive. The streamlined process allowed for quick feedback and a well-paced progression, demonstrating the company’s commitment to an effective hiring experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about yourself and walk us through your resume?
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at CGI in Oct 2025
Interview
Applied online, was told to connect with a recruiter at my university's job fair. They forwarded along my resume. There was a phone interview over Handshake. There was another interview with 2 parts (a technical and a personal) a few weeks later. The interviewer was around 10 minutes late with no communication which threw off the second interview. There was also supposed to be a Q&A the same day, but it got rescheduled to several weeks later. There was very little communication unless I initiated it. The whole process felt very unprofessional.
