Emails -> Career fair interview -> Emails -> On-site interview -> Emails -> Offer. The process seemed to take a very long time. About 3 months to go through all the steps.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General team skills and project management questions are not the easiest to answer. The technical questions that a software engineer would get are pretty simple OOP stuff. Might have to debug a simple program on paper. Nothing to be worried about though if you actually know c++/java.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at CGI (Halifax, NS) in Oct 2013
Interview
This was simple: their HR reached me by phone and appointed technical interview.
Interview was by Skype, conference call and remote desktop all together.
There were no introductions or greetings. They simply gave me the task and asked me to solve it. It took me longer than they have expected. Once I have told them I have finished the implementation of first part, they said, they have no time for the rest part of interview and bye bye.
That is it.

Question 1
2 questions:
1) Implement silverlight application which converts string "<color name>_<number>" (for example "red_1") to textbox properties:
<color_name> - the color name of text
<number> - if number % 2 == 0, set color A, otherwise set color B
You have to use IValueConverter and data binding.
2) write function which takes valid directory path as argument and prints out 10 biggest files in path's sub tree. Use recursive algorithm. <- i din't have enough time to finish it.
It must work without crashes and must show comprehensive error messages.
