The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAIC (Columbia, MD) in Jun 2009
Interview
I applied for a JOb withthem online and received a call the next day. At that same time I was scheduled for a interview two days later. the interview was a matter of me speaking with the HR guy going on benefits and then to the hiring manager. The interview took about 1 1/2 hours and i went away very happy. I was then called the next day at which time I spoke to the HR person and negoiated my salary. Be confident and gain valuable skills which market yourself at the high end of the ball park. You are in charge of your own future.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SAIC (Washington, DC) in Apr 2009
Interview
I keep my resume on the SAIC website current and was lucky enough to receive a call from a recruiter asking me if I was still looking and interested in the position. I had to fill out a bunch of forms, send them back and had an interview with 3 individuals a week after initial contact.
The team told me a little bit about their contract, what the position entails, asked me if I had some of the qualifications such as (sharepoint and project management). They asked me a little bit about myself. When I asked them questions, they seemed impressed and a little challenged when answering the questions. Toward the end of the interview the HR person asked me my salary range, I countered the question and asked their range to determine if it was acceptable.
The HR person said "oh I see how you're going to play" then looked at my application and read off what I wrote down without giving me a range. I was very put off with the question of salary range at first interview and their response when I gave my range.
I wrote a thank you note to the hiring manager and heard back from the recruiter with the standard message a week later stating I wasn't offered the position. I wrote the recruiter back and asked if they received any feedback on areas I could improve, be it my skills whether it be taking a class, my interview skills, my salary requirements. I never got a response.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SAIC (McLean, VA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Initially, everything went well. However, towards the actual phone interview and face to face, it took sometime to get some sort of notice. The original recruiter for SAIC, passed me onto an intern and an assistant. Teh interviewer presented the company; including it's culture, and position quite thoroughly.
