SAS reviews

A legendary devotion to employees makes SAS Institute a model for others. Google sent representatives to SAS' Cary, NC campus early in the search company's history to learn about what attracted the smartest employees and kept them there. And the similarities show. SAS has a gym for employees on site that houses two pools, soccer fields, a baseball field, a track, basketball courts, racquetball courts, tennis courts, and exercise equipment. Further, SAS encourages employee health with incentives for gym activities each month. SAS has an on-site massage and physical therapy center, on-site healthcare, on-site daycare, on-site hair salon, on-site car detailing, on-site dry cleaning pickup, and many more on-site amenities which are all for SAS employees and their families only. Top this off with weekly breakroom goodies like M&M's, a comprehensive benefits package, and a laid-back work environment and it's easy to see why SAS has had over 30 years of revenue growth and profitability; it retains the best talent because it's a great place to work.

Great people to work with, excellent working conditions and a very balanced approach to work-life issues. For example, I was in a mid-level executive position for a while, and decided I wanted to be more of an individual contributor for personal satisfaction and quality of life issues. My boss generously recommended me for the new position, and relationships are good both with the old and new organizations. I've never worked at a place that was willing to go that far to ensure retention of good people.
