I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAIC (McLean, VA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Basic phone interview for starters which was really just running through my resume and confirming everything related to my job history; also, to confirm what other information they had heard. They also requested three job references.
Surprisingly the in-person job interview was only with the VP. This interview lasted about an hour and ahalf, was very short and sweet...about an hour and ahalf.
