Pros

Friendly people, on-site gym, childcare center, and sports to play

Cons

SAS is a mess now. People are leaving in droves. Management has failed to properly develop their talent and acknowledge their top performers. Compensation, raises, and bonus are not at all tied with the amount/quality of work accomplished. High amounts of office politics. The product is well below industry standard, however SAS survives another year based on past client relationships alone. It is a slow bleed as open source and companies closer to Silicon Valley continue to steal market share. With weaker tech, SAS further invested $1B in Viya which has proven to be buggy and painful to use even among SAS employees.

Pros

Beautiful campus, benefits are amazing.

Cons

Too many “lifers” at SAS, lost touch with best practices. Promotions based on personal relationships versus truly being the best person for the job. HR seems to protect itself and has grown its kingdom. Out of touch management. IPO seems extremely unlikely.
