      A Dying Company Trying to Hold On

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SAS remains a market leader in analytics. Why not? They pretty much invented the space. If you live in Cary, NC you enjoy the incredible benefits of the SAS campus. As a remote employee, not so much. SAS salaries are OK. Not great, but livable. However, don't expect to be over paid at SAS.

      Cons

      SAS is a dying company. Inventing a space and maintaining your advantage are two different things, and SAS has failed miserably at the latter. SAS has become a "government," over bureaucratic, too many levels of useless administrators, impossible to react to market conditions, and they take their own analytics-based mentality too seriously allowing their processes to get in the way of common sense and logical business practices.

      I had to leave to advance my career.

      Developer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good work-life balance. - Decent benefits (although becoming less of a differentiator as other companies catch up). - Great campus facilities (subsidized cafeterias, work-out facilities, On-site daycare/healthcare/prescription). - Friendly co-workers.

      Cons

      - Stalled growth has limited raises, bonuses and profit sharing. In general, performance isn't tied to these anyway. Everyone gets the same thing so why bother putting in hard work. - Absolutely no career advancement. None. - As a younger person, SAS is a career suicide. I loved the company but had to leave to move forward.
