Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at SAS
It was a thorough interview with multiple steps. However, they care more about complicity than ambition. SAS Federal is more interested in software sales rather than solving the business challenge and helping the customer.
- Asked about industry, even though it doesn't matter much. Technology is more important.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Stockholm, Stockholm
I applied online. I interviewed at SAS (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Sep 2022
First interview was online for 20 min with the Marketing Manager. The second interview was on site at the HQ with the Marketing Manager and the HR Manager. It was a very bad experience as the HR manager was very impolite. Most of the interview was regarding specific details of my answers in the psychology test, where she was constantly questioning my answers in an attacking way. It was an interrogation and I was very uncomfortable. Furthermore, there was very little focus on the marketing case that I had prepared for a week or getting to know me.
- Why do you think that you should have the honor to work with X in the marketing team?

Very casual and personable manager. Appreciated the transparency, and lack of "interview style" questions. I was also given a short tour of the nice office space, and met a couple of employees which was appreciated.
- Background, questions about current / past work and reasons for wanting a change.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at SAS
My interviewers were extremely friendly. They were understanding that I was new to internships and I don’t feel like their expectations were excessive. While the email scheduling my interview mentioned receiving technical based questions, none were asked. It was comfortable and helped me remain calm while speaking with them.
- Please give an example of a situation where you had to perform outside of your comfort zone or skill set. What did you do and were you successful?
