Pros

- Excellent Benefits - Insurance covers things you never thought it would - Excellent Work/Life Balance - Autonomy - Ability to learn and grow through training programs offered (Lynda.com and others) - Access to great sales tools (like DiscoverOrg and Sales Navigator) - Some of the smartest technical resources around - The best of intentions

Cons

- Passive aggressive culture - #1 reason I'm leaving - Very expensive software that's quickly becoming a commodity (or already has in some cases) Services are even more expensive - NO official rules or policy around performance reviews (or if there is no one follows it) - It took 5 months to get a comp plan for 2018 - Confusing marketing practices with completely outdated tools that take a ton of time to use (to invite prospects to an event you literally have to re-write each email - mail merge is impossible) - Redundancy of account planning using a tool that looks like it came from and didn't grow out of the 90's - No sense of urgency to change - at least not at the tactical level which is the level most of us work in - If you're not in HQ you're a bit out of touch

Pros

Beautiful campus, benefits are amazing.

Cons

Too many “lifers” at SAS, lost touch with best practices. Promotions based on personal relationships versus truly being the best person for the job. HR seems to protect itself and has grown its kingdom. Out of touch management. IPO seems extremely unlikely.
