I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SAS (Raleigh, NC) in Apr 2015
Interview
Met with three practice area leaders - the hiring manager, the division leader, and a would-be peer - who asked insightful and engaging questions. I felt as though they had really considered my resume and qualifications ahead of time and hadn't just skimmed them on the way into the room.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They were particularly interested in any experience I had working with or for enterprise software projects and installs.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SAS in Dec 2008
Interview
Initial phone conversation to check the fit and general background, pretty straight forward. Followed by an interview with 2 business + 1 HR people... had earlier asked me to prepare a presentation on my most challenging project to date. Very friendly and relaxed.
