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.

Pros

Not what it used to be, but still not a bad place to work.

Cons

Ponderous bureaucracy with too many incompetent managers. Way too much internal competition and politics. The employee-centric culture that made SAS standout 20 years ago, has eroded and the company is becoming just another software company.

Pros

Company benifits and hours of work. SAS has some of the best facilities, offices, gyms, grounds, child care centers and healthcare facilities. The cafeterias are excellent. Most people only work 35 hours a week and its a very laid back environment.

Cons

Very clickish and few career opportunities. Most senior leadership has "grown-up" in SAS and its all about who you know. There is a lot of politics under the covers and if are not a part of the right crowd you can forget it. Also, for a technology company it is a VERY WHITE company. In my 7 years at SAS I came across very few non-whites and almost none in management.
