Interviewed Jun 2011 in McLean, VA (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted via e-mail in response to my application and resume submission. I was asked to answer a list of additional questions via e-mail. This was followed up by a call from an HR rep, so set up a series of five one-on-one interviews over 10 business days. (One was via telephone with a VP in CA.) Unfortunately, the perception of the environment/culture was much different than the reality.

Negotiation Details
The initial salary offer was so far above what I was expecting (more than $29K than I had anticipated), that no negotiation was necessary. I was quite shocked, actually.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

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 2009 in McLean, VA (took 3 days)
Everything went really well. I was very impressed with SAIC. They told me they would make a decision the day of my interview. The next week I was told I was one of two and after that there was no communication from them. It's pretty rude to leave someone hanging with not so much as a "not interested".

Interviewed Mar 2009 in McLean, VA (took 2 days)
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.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in McLean, VA (took 1 week)
I initially met with the company at a Campus interview for 30 minutes and it was quite casual. Questions were asked about how one would "teach" another and about my senior projects and group work. Behavioral questions were asked about how I went about to excel in school.
The 2nd (final) round interview was held at the office in McLean, VA. I met with 4 different people for about 30 mins each. Each was in a different position and asked about my resume and classes. The interview wasn't too technical and focused on my thought processes and group skills.
