I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CGI (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2013
Interview
The interviewers were very tough. They asked questions to gauge your personality and also your skillset, which I liked. I recommend that when answering questions about how you handled previous difficult situations, that you ALWAYS explain how you handled the situation, but that you include something like, "but my handling of similar future situations depends on CGI corporate culture and expectations, combined with the expectations of the client". I almost did not get the job because of the way I explained that I handled previous situations didn't fit with the client expectations for which I was applying. And, obviously not knowing the CGI or client corporate culture and expectations, there was no way for me to provide the "correct" answer. So, since this interview, I have always made a point to answer the question, but add that I am flexible in how things are handled in the future, based on the company's expectations.
It was just the very first interview with the company and we were communicated through phone. The interview was short as it was just to learn from each other and it was not a formal one.

Interview
Plusieurs entretiens avec un RH puis un Business Manager.
Très bon contact avec l’ensemble des interlocuteurs et poste qui semblait intéressant.
Offre ridiculement basse et non compétitive vis à vis du marché actuel.
Entretien en visio de 30 minutes pour présenter son parcours, ses points forts et faibles. Si concluant, recontacté pour un second entretien technique avec recruteur et échange de questions générales.
