Pros

Benefits Offices - company culture that most individuals get their own office Cary extras are unsurpassed - gym, massages, barber, medical facilities Great if you need child care for 3 children or less, even better off campus in a regional office - on campus there is a waiting list

Cons

Processes are set up based on a small company- not driven to accomplish sales in a timely manner. No documented process, seems like everyone assumes all workers have been there 10 years and just "know how things work" Technology is focused on addressing the needs of a few key customers who seem to keep the company in business. Spaghetti code is the least of the challenges Cary let's the field over sell and under deliver because there is no honest discussion about gaps in capability or performance No real bench-marking- wonder why a company of this size and maturity doesn't provide this type of data? Salaries are not competitive, even for NC, forget anywhere else Federal leadership is exceedingly poor and there is no "leadership" involved - no strategy- only politics and personalities Very poor treatment of women - many inappropriate relationships between high level managers / executives and other staff across the company- really bad in Cary.

Pros

Great work environment! Lots of benefits that really pay off if you have a young family. If you live in the Triangle area, saying that you work for SAS is very well recognized and opens many doors. Great software that reaches pretty much any industry - you can branch out easily to any type of industry. All that talk about work-life balance is really true here. You can take it easy here, enjoy your family/personal time while working with cutting edge technology.

Cons

It is hard to advance in this organization where years of services is sometimes valued more than hard work. Salaries are not great and you can kill yourself working and delivering that at the end of the year you can get 1-3% salary adjustment. Work could be more challenging and productive here. If you're looking for a fast-paced competitive environment and also interested in the big bucks this is not the place.
