I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SAS (Cary, NC) in Feb 2017
Interview
The process was very long (more than six months). I wasn't in a rush to leave my last company though. If an internal candidate applies and meets the listed qualifications, the hiring manager has to interview the candidate, so the manager literally interviewed four or five dozen people for the role. I met with everyone on the manager's team as well as people from pre-sales and product management. I was referred by someone on the manager's team, and thus didn't really go through pre-screens with HR or anything like that. Also, I'm a bit of a unique candidate in the sense that I have a lot of deep specific industry knowledge already, with several publications and positions speaking on panel discussions, and my credentials weren't really questioned.

Question 1
They wanted me to do a role play where I acted as if I was reaching out to a client to pitch our software.
I had multiple interview with various team members. The final interview was a presentation. I had to demonstrate product knowledge, strong communication skills, and the ability to explain to a client how SAS could help them.
The interview was very straight forward. A presentation was required for the interview, and this was a panel interview. From the interview panel there seemed to be a lack of diversity in the unit. I was surprised to learn that they do not check references.
