SAS is all about Dr. Goodnight. Nothing gets done unless Dr. Goodnight approves it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy, relaxed, country-club environment where you can get to play voleey-ball with Sr. Directors and Vice-Presidents.

Cons

Working at SAS is like working at a Lab. Most of the work is academic in nature and rarely applicable to real-life cases. For those used to getting things done, SAS is not the best place to work at. In fact, it is a greta place to work at for those who are contempt with their lifes and want to find a good place to retire in North Carolina.

Pros

challenging and stimulating work environment, flexible hours, working with the best minds in our industry to solve complex problems and deliver value for our customers.

Cons

The area I'm working in has experienced rapid growth. This sometimes entails long hours and a less than serene environment, but it is a necessary price for delivering value to our customers and to thrive long term.
