I applied online via the SAIC career portal and was contacted by a recruiter within 3 days. The first step was a 15 minute phone screen with the recruiter (who requested it be completed same day), followed by a lengthy phone interview with the hiring manager about a week or 10 days after the phone screen. SAIC updated my application to "no longer under consideration" on the website 2 weeks after the interview; I never heard another word from the recruiter or hiring manager, even after a FIFTY-MINUTE interview conducted while I was on vacation. Typical "Beltway Bandit" behavior - ghosting after such a promising start.

Hiring manager was unprepared for interview and did not review my resume at all. Manager was not very thorough with the questions. I found the interview to be very surprisingly very easy and short. I felt that they needed a warm body to take over the position that a previous employee left abruptly. Hiring manager looked at cellphone constantly and frequently interrupted interview. Hiring manager did not take notes nor ask very challenging or intelligent questions at all. Found interviewer to be very aloof and boring.
