I interviewed at CGI (Lafayette, LA)
College recruiting interview on campus. Then on site interview in Lafayette. Mostly behavioral questions were asked and technical wasn’t too difficult. Overall fast and simple process. I think the entirety of it was about 3 weeks.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CGI (London, England)
Quite straight forward, two rounds both technical. The interviewers, on both occasion took time to understand past projects and experiences and the questions were scenario based as opposed to technical details about a particular technology. Overall a good experience.
- Example of technical challenge and how was this addressed. Examples of stakeholder management. Technical queries about implementation and deployment of cloud native applications (AWS).
