I applied online. I interviewed at CGI (Helsinki, Southern Finland) 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.
