I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAIC (San Diego, CA) in Nov 2019
Interview
I got an external referral to the team. One recruiter call and one call with the hiring manager followed by a in person interview. Panel interview with the hiring manager, interview coordinator, and six team members. All were veterans with similar backgrounds to me, questions and topics were largely focusing on my experience and getting a feel for how I would fit into the team.
The hiring manager conducted a post interview 1:1 immediately after the panel interview. He wanted to ensure that I had a chance to address any specific concerns and I got the feeling (confirmed later) that he really cared about whether I felt good about the position and people and understood my responsibilities. I've never had that before in a hiring process.
Delayed response from HR after applying but speedy interview time after making contact. The interviewer was very professional and I appreciated his willingness to treat me like a person and listen to my answers. I felt I got a good explanation of the position and was able to find out details about the company I did not know. Everyone I have talked to so far has been very professional and kind.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about my experience, expectations, etc. They gave a thorough explanation of the position and allowed me opportunity to ask questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SAIC
Interview
Multiple phone calls, no in-person. Screened by team lead and planner, then another interview by program manager. Found the questions to be very stump the chump with the PM, not so much by the team leads.
