Pros

Nice colleagues, understanding managers, in fact the customers are great too because many times they are fans of the products. Office is nice, benefits are top-notch.

Cons

Salary is and have never been higher than other tech companies. The quality of some products are very poor, and both R&D and Tech Support will face strong pressures from customers around the world, and long working hours. Personal growth is an issue if you have considerations to work outside of SAS in future; I predict other companies are far more demanding in terms of work speed, quality, and depth of IT knowledge.

A bit lost in the shuffle...

Pros

Outstanding benefits, good work/life balance, lots of perks at campus/headquarters. Privately owned company, not subject to the whims of a board nor does management succumb to short-term earnings pressures. Profit sharing (in lieu of equity) is generally on the generous side.

Cons

Even though the company professes to be "flat" in terms of management, there are plenty of managerial levels. If you are not located in the North Carolina HQs, you may be lost in the shuffle of any reorganization - out of sight, out of mind. Salaries below market. R&D rules the roost.
