SAS reviews

It is difficult to take advantage of the countless benefits unless you're comfortable taking more time away from your work...which is hard to do. Opportunities for advancement are rare since employees rarely leave SAS to work elsewhere.

As a sales person it was incredibly difficult unless you had an account with a large installed base. During my 7 year career there I saw sales teams in regions turn over 4X. You get 2 years to make your numbers, and then get kicked out. Many people got frustrated and left before that point. Product is very difficult/complex to sell with very long sales cycles. Goodnight hates to pay sales people, so comp plans change regularly. He is surrounded with a cadre of "yes" men and woman who are so anxious to stay on the "gravy train" (sort of) that don't question him nor challenge him. Also few savvy tech people stay longer than 5 years, so the company has a very, very insular culture. Goodnight likes to acquire failing technology companies on the cheap, their management who stays has an out sized influence on SAS for a period of time before they become assimilated. Great at slick marketing, but content light and very, very insular group.
