Pros

Good benefits, very decent people. You have every opportunity to learn. Offer balanced work/life environment to most business units.

Cons

Sales compensation too grey and probably leaves a lot to be desired in "motivating" new customer/revenue opportunities. Although it seems "neat" at first, the quirky "perks" like M & M's every Wednesday is not the reason someone should believe they are work for a "great" company. There is no way to make more than an average income at almost every business function level. You have to "love" working FOR SAS to justify staying when many friends and/or peers choose challenges for management, money and more dynamic work environment.

Pros

Benefits are very good, most people think you work at a personal resort, unlimited sick leave, your own personal office, on site health care, on site gym, 10%+3% 401k profit + match,

Cons

Too many people without a connection to reality, people who have never worked very hard, most people think you work at a personal resort, cafeteria is okay at best, Goodnight is a quiet megalomaniac, pretty conservative culture, daunting product set to learn- many of which barely sell, big disconnect between sales and R&D, they have too many sales people with too little opportunity to allow most of them to make quota

SAS Needs to Grow Up

Pros

The employee benefits are amazing. There are chances for growth and development.

Cons

Very poor administration policies. Employee performance reviews are not done. Non technical training is disorganized. Much of the creativity in SAS is stymied based on how middle management believes the CEO will perceive the idea. Submitting an idea that runs contrary to the immediate manager's opinion can be dangerous. Additionally, many employees are held responsible for cost issues while accounting information was too closely held to be useful. SAS' approach to the international market is often short sighted.
