I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at SAS (Singapore) in Sept 2020
Interview
Division: JMP
Role: Presales/Postsales/Training/Consulting
Total length of interview from Prelim Round to Offer took about 6.5 weeks.
Prelim - Recruiter call and run a screening. Standard recruiting process, check background/past experiences/expected salary/benefits
Round 1 - Future colleague, leisure chit chat about previous experiences, current role responsibilities, more on personality fit/cultural fit screening rather than a technical one. Advice is to stay authentic and do some background check on interviewer, their expertise etc
Round 2 - Hiring Manager, again leisure chit chat about the same thing, more on cultural fit screening. Some question on past experiences. Advice, be honest and authentic. Study more on what the role has to do and read some news about the company product/ direction.
Round 3 - Panel Interview of 6. APAC role hence consists of a Korean, a Japanese, a Chinese, two American, a British. Received assignment from recruiter and need to prepare to present to the panel. Presentation followed by questions from the panel, both technical and personality.
Everyone involved in the process is professional and the process run with utmost respect. Overall a very good experience.
1. 15 min screening call, with basic questions to assess if you fit for the position.
2. Technical Interview about data science, Machine learning and computer vision. The questions were primarily on my RA and projects.
3. Behavioral with the hiring manager and HR, the questions were simple.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about the values of SAS during the behavioral interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SAS
Interview
The process is interesting. It is 3 steps or more...very through. First the meeting about the position to make sure it is a fit for both you and SAS. Next a potential second interview. If you pass the one and maybe 2 interviews (no difficult questions), then a presentation to 4-6 people is next. This can be tough. It is a subject of your choice to an audience you may or may not know. If you pass that test, then you meet with the VP for a final OK.
