Interview
Many people think you need to know someone to get hired at SAS. I applied online and was selected for an interview without any help from within the company. Make sure your resume includes keywords that match the job description. I had 1 phone interview and 2 in-person interviews. The first rounds were with management, the last interview included team members and was mostly a personality assessment. The entire process took about 2 weeks. I felt very comfortable during the interview.

Question 1
It was a pretty standard interview. My experience spoke for itself. I provided examples of projects I've worked on that related to SAS' projects. I think they were evaluating me more on my personality and communication skills.
The interview consisted of three rounds, including the first one with Human Resources. They also required two writing samples. They had a competency interview where they asked about eight to ten questions requiring examples, so that was a difficult one. Now the department has been mostly eliminated.
And later, the department was eliminated

Question 1
Describe a project where you worked on something with someone else.
It was a comprehensive interview process. I had the opportunity to get-to-know the team and hiring leaders. The interview panel was invested in getting to know me and my experiences. An impressive campus!
Rigorous but good. Skills are a main goal for them, what they don’t have to teach you. Although they want a team player. 3 interviews, all with different people. Third interview they offer the job.
