Pros

- various on campus amenities (not free like other big name IT, but more there for convenience) - good benefit designed around family with kids - good hours if you're not a developer

Cons

- little to no career growth - low comp, laughable raise and bonus - lots of politics, different groups under the same division sometimes won't cooperate for a common mission - R&D direction is ambitious, but unclear how it will carry out with severe lack of human capital to do everything on the book. - front-line managers tend to be micromanaging and doesn't assign work according to team member strengths but rather availability. - Most HR don't have the employee's best interest at heart, but SAS HR makes an effort to make sure short-term cost minimization comes before retaining valuable employees.

Pros

Benefits were great and work life balance was good.

Cons

The pay was horrific, the movement of accounts made no sense and the managers are comped on team achievement not total number. So they would move accts around to under achieving reps to ensure the "team" hits the number. As an individual contributor this is not a good place for sales people to grow and advance professionally. Great technology - it would be much better if someone w/o a PhD could understand how to use it.
