What

SAS Institute

Looks For

SAS looks for well rounded individuals with good hearts. They are looking for those who embrace technology, have strong communication skills, are curious, passionate, authentic, and accountable.

History of

SAS Institute

In 1966, vast amounts of agricultural data were being collected through USDA grants but there were no computerized statistics programs to analyze the data. Eight universities came together under a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to solve that problem. The resulting program, the Statistical Analysis System, gave SAS both the basis for its name and its corporate beginnings. Fast Company ranked them as the #1 Best Workplace for Innovation Award and Money Magazine claims SAS Analytics is the #1 career skill to have.

Interview Process

Applications for internships are open from September to February, interviews run from November to April, and internships begin in May/June. The steps of the interview process depend on what role you are applying for.

1. Initial phone screen

The first step in the interview process is a quick phone conversation to go over your background and resume to see if you would be a good fit. Some applicants report having an online test prior to this step with pre-recorded, non-technical questions.

2. Virtual interview

The next step in the process is a virtual interview with the hiring manager and the team you would be working with.
