I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SAIC in Oct 2009
Interview
Simple interview process once they actually contacted me. The phone interview was very general and asked questions about my resume. The 1:1 went more in deal on the types of experience and tools I have worked with in the past. The recruiter had a general understanding of the job I was looking to receive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your experience is from a different field of study than the job you are applying, how can you transition your knowledge?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SAIC (Hampton, VA) in Dec 2009
Interview
I am the incumbant on a contract SAIC won recently, beating out my current company. The company representative called all the incumbants to offer them their current job. We played tag between phones before finally I managed to get a hold of him on a lunch break. We spoke very briefly before he basically threw out everything I had said and gave me a hard-nosed offer of what the company was expecting to pay for my position. It was completely unacceptable so I told him I would speak with my family and let him know. I e-mailed him a counter offer and over the weekend he got back with me with a negative response stating that it was the government's fault it was that price. A completely BS statement of course since in their proposal they stated their prices for each position and given that they previously held the contract was well aware what each position was making.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SAIC (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2008
Interview
Initial communication was phone interviews with 3 members of management. Then individual one on one interviews via telephone. Interviews were located on the west coast and I was on the east coast. Interviews were very pleasant and the best advice I can ofer anyone is to speak frankly. The people of SAIC are genuinely the nicest people I have ever worked bicoastly with.
