I applied online. I interviewed at CGI (Helsínquia, Finlândia Meridional) in Feb 2019
Interview
The first time when I had to have interviewed, the interviewer canceled on the morning of the interview.
On my initiative, we re-scheduled and for the next interview, I managed to show up on the CGI campus. Security at the gate printed me plastic visitor access and told me not to leave the lobby, as I can not be in the building unaccompanied by someone who works there.
So, I called my interviewer who was still in bed and sounded like he would also rather stay there. He sounded shocked after finding out that I am in the building and asked me to wait there for his arrival.
The interviewer arrived after one hour and spend another quarter of an hour finding a software developer to interview me.
The interview itself was easy and nothing special.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many years of experience I have with a certain technology?
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.

Interview
I attended through campus recruitment. The process started with an aptitude round, followed by a group discussion. After that, there was a technical interview focused on system design concepts and project-related questions. The final round was HR, covering basic behavioral questions and overall fit.
