Pros

SAS can be great for some, the benefits are great and they have a top-notch fitness program. On-site health care is convenient for immediate illnesses.

Cons

The company has a lot of under-employment and complacency. There is also a lot of nepotist. The biggest issue is that there lack of mobility/advancement.

Pros

Pay is adequate, benefits are good, job security is virtually guaranteed if a) you work at corporate, b) you don't make waves, and c) value internal politics over personal or unit productivity. Sense of urgency is an unknown concept in most units. This company and its culture would never survive in a public-company setting.

Cons

Senior management provides little leadership and less vision. CEO is a great technologist with no respect for how business gets done. Sales teams are regularly belittled in regular CEO videos. If you work for SAS outside of the corporate environment, you are looked upon as a 2nd class citizen at best. While company's loyal user base will provide a revenue cow to milk for a while, more nimble competitors will erode the fortunes of this one-trick pony.

Don't believe the Hype

Pros

Solid financially, good vacation time, good job security, nice cafeteria, onsite healthcare, onsite gym, good if you have kids and can get them into daycare (based on seniority)

Cons

The benefits have been shrinking - greatly. If you are single then the pay and benefits are below what you would get elsewhere for the same work. The only benefit that I hear parents say that keeps them there is the daycare. Don't believe the 35 hour hype. That is only for people who are non-IT. If you are in IT it is a major pressure cooker. I am seeing lots of people leaving because they can get better work conditions and benefits else where. Little room for moving up. And difficult to move laterally unless you have been with the company for 20 years.
