cgi SURVEY SAYS


Easy street


CGI insiders describe their company as a "fairly relaxed" place to work: "The culture here at CGI is business casual with regard to office atmosphere, not exclusively the dress," says one source.  Indeed, the relaxed concept appears to apply to everything from flexible scheduling, when possible, to a collaborative culture.  "There is an understanding that people are expected to deliver and contribute to their projects, but at the same time people are relaxed, friendly and helpful," a consultant states.

Tips from the inside

Three rounds and you’re out (or in)
Insiders describe their firm’s hiring process as a fairly laid-back affair.  It generally consists of a standard "three interview rounds after an initial HR screening" for experienced hires.  One source reports that his "first round was a phone interview with HR," while the "second round was a phone interview with a team lead."  The third round, meanwhile, "was a face-to-face interview with project staff," followed by a fourth and final round with a director and VP.
