Interviewed Aug 2010 in McLean, VA (took a day)
I applied online for the position and was contacted within two days to set up an interview. They wanted me to come in the following week but I was going to be out of town then, so they were accommodating in setting up a different interview time. The interview was at 930 on a Monday morning, and I was greeted in the lobby and led through security. There were 3 interviewees, and we all interviewed individually with 2 senior analyst and 2 junior analysts. The 2 senior interviews seemed to the ones that determined if we got the job or not and the 2 junior interviews seemed to be set up to let US ask questions about company culture. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and it seems that there are mostly just recent graduate entry-level employees and older, senior level employees with little in between.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 days)
Initially contacted quickly and went to one location for an interview. Went to dinner the night before, then gave a presentation of my work to a panel of employees, had a very quick one-on-one interview, then tour of the facility. I was then taken to the airport for my return flight. I was told I would be called the next week to set up another interview in another location. I never received a call back, and my follow-up phone call was not returned (just an email acknowledging the phone call). Received an email a few weeks later about them wanting to have a follow up discussion. I replied accordingly. I have never received a call - it has been over a month since the interview and no contact or feedback has been given to me. That's life I guess.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 6 months)
Initial contact was very quick - recruiter appeared to be very helpful and willing to assist throughout the process of interviewing/hiring. Had a second interview in which a third-party was on the line, but was never told that another person was involved in the second telephonic interview until that person put the phone down to signal the end of the interview.

Get a signing bonus. There is no bonus as promised. Get EVERYTHING in writing. Recruiters for SAIC are dishonest and misleading (no SHT!).

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 1 week)
The whole interview process was very professional, however SAIC is not very fast on getting back to you. The interview was a phone interview with three employees asking questions that were related to the work they are hiring for and your past experience. Questions focused on your past real life experiences and how they may relate to the current opening.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There is limited negotiation regarding. If you ask for a higher salary, they may not offer any more than a few thousand dollar adjustment. It's best to offer justification on why you deserve a higher salary. A lower Salary can be offset with relocation allowances even if they state there is none. It's much easier to get relocation allowance as this money is paid out of a different budget. If you ask you'll likely get it.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Huntsville, AL (took 1 week)
After applying for two software engineering jobs with the company via their website, an SAIC recruiter called me to see if I'd be interested in interviewing for a position. He read me a lot of information with a lot of acronyms related to the position. He handed me off to someone in HR who sent me a few electronic documents to complete. I looked up the position the recruiter called me about, and it was not one of the positions for which I'd applied, so I'm figuring they're hurting for people to fill a new need.
I went to the interview, a group interview, and there were something like 12 to 15 of us in a large conference room with refreshments--snacks, drinks. The facility is quite nice, but the work would be performed at a customer's site, and they warned me during my interview that it was crowded.
Half of us were sent into a second room to interview with other SAIC employees. I interviewed at a table with two SAIC developers currently on the project for which I was interviewing. The room had about 6 or 7 such tables. They seemed nice and told me about the position. Then we went back into the conference room and were briefed by HR and talked amongst ourselves while the second half of the candidates went for their interviews.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The benefits are rather poor, frankly. The salary offering was decent, but there is little way to have much work-life balance given that all of your sick time comes out of your vacation pot, which is insufficient for someone with several years' experience. Also, the recruiter seemed a little too enthusiastic when he called to follow up, and my interview itself was almost too easy. All smiles and no tough questions. There's some kind of desperation going on there.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Arlington, VA (took a day)
First submitted resume online, got no where. Got an employee referral, was interviewed soon thereafter. Had to interview with several members of the staff individually so the whole process took several hours and was very repetetive, but all were nice and they answered all my questions. It was a very professional experience.
