Pros

Not what it used to be, but still not a bad place to work.

Cons

Ponderous bureaucracy with too many incompetent managers. Way too much internal competition and politics. The employee-centric culture that made SAS standout 20 years ago, has eroded and the company is becoming just another software company.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
