Pros

Great work life balance, many perks such as a corporate gym, health center, pharmacy, day care, several dining halls, and beautiful campus. Management provides coaching and is there to help you succeed. CEO really cares about making his employes feel happy at work.

Cons

Very political. Not much room for advancement. Make sure to negotiate a solid salary upfront as promotions are very minimal if anything at all.

Pros

SAS is a fantastic place to work! The work-life balance is amazing, and they let you work however you are comfortable. The work environment is comfortable, and there's a lot of good work being done for one to be involved in.

Cons

Not the best salary-wise. Progress up the ladder can be fairly slow from what I've seen.

Pros

The Cary campus is posh; the onsite health care is a great benefit, great gym, nice walking trails. People there are generally nice. 401K contributions pretty solid. Has some first-rate technology and talent.

Cons

Salary and bonuses are low compared to other technology employers. Promotions rare because of low turnover. Company structure tends to be static. Re-orgs are ineffective in making change. Some employees work tremendous hours and contribute a lot without much recognition, others are out by 5 pm every day on the nose. I'm fascinated to read many of the other reviews of this company. The very glowing reviews on this site I'd suggest that readers discount as those reflect a lucky few, while many of the others capture very well the malaise that I see there, and was the reason I left.
