Pros

Benefits are among the best available.

Cons

Dealt with a very negative, aggressive, and condescending manager and is the main reason why I chose to depart. The manager instilled fear and was confrontational with many team members. This manager had over 100% turnover with HR becoming involved. The company is behind in relevant industry technologies. You work in isolated swim lanes and do not get the opportunities to engage with other technologies or opportunities. Going into the job market, you better have strengthened your skill set outside of SAS. Otherwise, you will be behind on what is in demand in the industry. Little to no movement in career path/company organization. Difficult to transition with the 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.
