Interviewed Jun 2011 in Cary, NC (took 2 weeks)
The phone interview was a screening and I was impressed with the questions asked - not the just the typical "describe your background and why you're suited for the job." They also asked why you wanted the job and why you wanted to work for SAS - and expected a detailed answer.
The panel interview was difficult - several of the group were obviously unprepared and not experienced enough to ask intelligent questions much less describe their role in the group. Others asked incredibly astute questions and put me to the test on my knowledge. I felt a lot of synergy with the group and was disappointed not to receive the offer. A big con: There was no feedback - even when asked - and no follow-up even though it was promised.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 months)
Interview process here was pretty standard. Had a phone conversation with my potential manager and based off that, I was brought in for a round of interviews.
The first round was with my manager, 1:1 and we discussed all the standard topics of an AE interview. Past performance, career arc, goals, interest in SAS, etc.
The 2nd round was with his manager, 1:1 and it was confirmation of some of the things I discussed in the first interview and further discussion.
The 3rd round was with the existing Sales team, consisted of 3 reps. This was very interesting, most companies don't take the time to do this step. It helped this job at SAS stand out from others that I was pursuing. It came across at the time thtat this would carry just as much weight as the 1:1 interviews and that proved to be true
Final step was interviewing with the VP of the group and it was clear I had already earned the offer and this was confirmation that I wanted to move forward.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
Very impressive office; clean and spacious.
People are very friendly, but a little patronizing. Made some condescending remarks. They don't have a lot of entry-level jobs and prefer experienced candidates. Everybody seemed relaxed, casually dressed. Asked about experience with report writing and working on a team. Next round is a technical assessment -- putting together a mock report. Job description as communicated by the interviewers seemed tedious and uninteresting.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Process moved fairly quickly. Approached by recruiter about the opportunity. I had a panel interview with a manager and director. After that, a presentation with a Q&A discussion. The presentation was to be on a topic relevant to the position. 15 minute maximum. Then there was about an hour or so of discussion with many questions and deeper digging.
