I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CGI (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2023
Interview
Firstly It was recruiter call about 15 to 20 mins. Then I got selected for it. So the next round was Technical. Basic Java and cloud service questions. Went very well. However, did not get call after technical round after that .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Java collections Questions Aws service which you have used previously.
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.
