I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SAIC (Washington, DC) in Nov 2010
Interview
Contacted by recruiter and had a phone interview with hiring manager first. Then had a face to face interview during lunch hour. The process was short and pleasant. I have the skills what the Director is looking for so he made an verbal offer on the spot. Then I got contacted by HR to fill forms and negotiate salary.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SAIC in May 2008
Interview
I was contacted by the hiring manager for a phone prescreen. Then, it was followed up with a face-to-face with the hiring manager and a representative from HR.
