Working at CGI Business Solutions

CGI encourages the use of modern tools like Tableau, Power BI, Python, SQL, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)—all of which are valuable and in demand.

Honestly, the best perk for me has been working with cutting-edge tools and learning from some really sharp teammates. It’s a great place to grow if you're into data, analytics, and solving real business problems.

I really respect how the leadership team at CGI stays focused on both people and performance. There’s a strong push toward using technology to drive smarter decisions, but also a genuine effort to support employee growth and development. That balance really stands out.

CGI already has a strong foundation with its focus on stability, client success, and technical excellence. To take the culture even further, I’d suggest creating more spaces for innovation and collaboration across departments—like hackathons, cross-team idea labs, or internal knowledge-sharing sessions. These kinds of initiatives can boost engagement, surface fresh ideas, and make the workplace even more dynamic and forward-thinking.

1. Research Company’s data stack (e.g., GCP, Snowflake) and recent projects. Job description keywords (e.g., "slow-changing dimensions," "ETL"). 2. Technical Prep SQL: Practice joins, window functions, optimization. Python: Review Pandas/NumPy for data cleaning. Data Modeling: Star schema, SCDs. 3. Stories Use STAR method for 3-5 examples (e.g., "Optimized SQL query → 25% faster dashboards at CGI"). 4. Mock Interviews Practice SQL on LeetCode; behavioral questions with a friend. 5. Questions to Ask "How is data governance handled here?" "What’s your team’s biggest data challenge?" 6. Logistics Bring laptop/portfolio (e.g., Tableau dashboards). Dress professionally (even for virtual).

What brings me the most joy is turning raw data into actionable insights that drive real business impact. For example, at CGI, designing interactive dashboards that helped teams track KPIs in real-time—and seeing those tools directly improve decision-making by 30%—was incredibly rewarding. I thrive on collaborative problem-solving, whether it’s optimizing a slow SQL query or explaining complex findings to non-technical stakeholders. The moment a lightbulb goes off and someone says, ‘Now I understand!’—that’s why I love this work.

The kitchen has coffee. Desk size is decent and they have office supplies.

Feels like high school and is very clique-like. 2 buildings don’t communicate with each other. No room for growth.

I honestly don’t know the answer to this question

CEO is friendly but didn’t mean the leadership team. Only met my dept managers

Looked at their website and job posting and my resume
