Pros

Benefits, Great location and campus

Cons

Stifling internal process and politics (a lot of dead wood with 20+ years). Technology getting stale. Licensing designed to hold on to the legacy of the past and hinders growth.

Business Outlook

Pros

SAS still has great products especially in the areas of risk and financial crimes. SAS has great expertise in truely operationalising and deploying models into production. This is often an underated capability.

Cons

Analytics has become commoditised and SAS can no longer charge premium prices. SAS has an out dated commercial structure. There is poor managment diversity and in country offices like Australia the culture is positively toxic and has very high turnover.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/Life balance. Playing sports during work is nice.

Cons

Outdated technology, principles, and game plan, only riding on the success from the 1980s/1990s. No room to grow/switch roles. Below average pay, and every time I try to get more money they quickly deflect and ignore you until their yearly review (of which you have no control over). I would switch roles but there's no room there either. I'm leaving asap.
