I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CGI (Fairfax, VA) in Feb 2012
Interview
CGI recruited at my school. I was able to do a first-round interview on grounds. It was a very informal interview. We pretty much just had an open conversation without any direct questions.
I got a callback to go to their location in northern Virginia for the next round of interviews (2 were scheduled on the same day). The first interviewer was younger and asked the standard questions that are on the list - pretty straightforward questions. Next interview was with a more senior lady who was much more informal and conversational. She didn't ask any direct interview questions - just made friendly conversation about interesting things on my resume and her own background.
I had the worst experience with CGI. I applied for a position, one month after I received an email from HR department willing to schedule a phone interview. The inverview was scheduled twice, but it never happened. I never got the phone call on the scheduled times, and my calls or emails were not responded. I have no idea about what happened, but I believe as a candidate I deserved a feedback about this, which never came. Really disrespectful.

Interview
Phone screening, 3 in face interviews. One with a consultant, sr consultant, then director. Straight forward interview process with stand interview questions. Know about momentum. Friendly culture. In the dark about what kind of work you will be doing. Randomly will get placed on a project with no say.
