I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CGI
Interview
Started out by talking to a representative at a campus recruiting event. Seemed like pretty nice people and knew a little about the company before hand so I applied there and was contacted about 2 weeks later for an on campus interview. On campus interview was very laid back and conversational for the most part, just going through the resume. After that, was invited to a second round interview at main location (Fairfax) Went through a luncheon before 2 30 minute interviews with a manager and consultant. The manager was a little tough but the consultant was very relaxed. All in all a great interview experience.

Given a program or application that you had to develop, explain to me how you would use the iterative process to improve the given program?
I applied online. I interviewed at CGI (Prague) in Jan 2026
Interview
Good but Czech is mandatory.
Interview was centred around the language skills online. But it was good and friendly- Team lead asking about salary range is bad .. it’s HR’s business
Processus classique en 3 étapes (RH / Manager / Directeur) et une évaluation du niveau en anglais. Les échanges ont été clairs et conviviaux, ce qui rassure sur l’ambiance au sein des équipes.
