I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SAIC (Alexandria, VA)
Interview
I talked with a recruiter for about two weeks and then set up a phone call with two of the program managers. They asked more personality questions and a few technical questions about the job. They went on to explain normal job daily life. Overall it was a positive experience.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SAIC in Apr 2019
Interview
Hiring manager sets up a phone interview time with the local manager. I wished we could meet in a SCIF so I could go into more details about how I could fit in the job. After the interview, the local manager informed you if he was going to recommend you to the hiring manager.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAIC in Oct 2012
Interview
There was absolutely no interview. I was hired by virtue of resume alone and was only asked general questions, likely to see if I wasn't a psycho killer.
In the interviewers defense, I knew and had worked with the customer before and he gave the go ahead for SAIC to proceed with hiring me.
The interview was conducted over the phone. I was in my underwear so at least is was a comfortable environment.
