I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2022
Interview
Technical interview was normal, asked basic and default questions for tech interviews as a junior/fresh grad. Basic OOPs questions and questions about the framework you are using. After that its basically a small coding question about how you would approach a problem and solve it in front of them, essentially talk while you code and be coherent while also making sense. Ifyou don't know, then say you don't know but don't let that be all you say either. Theres a good balance to it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
OOPS, framework related. Basic Data Structures. How would you approach this problem?
Basic screening telephone call and then a technical chat. Context and scenario questions followed by more technical ones about Java, Spring, that sort of thing. Were reluctant to discuss client, why hiring, etc.
No behavioural question, just one live technical assignment on call. Asked to code something. After I was done, we discussed the work and my code. No other question was asked.
The interview process was straightforward and went well overall. It consisted of about four interview rounds, with each stage focusing on different skills, experience, and overall fit for the role. I did have a recruiter.
