Pros

SAS in Cary, NC has a beautiful "campus" with great exercise options for lunch breaks. The people I worked with were for the most part nice and intelligent. The workload was acceptable. Benefits were good.

Cons

SAS pays you for 35 hours but I never worked less than 40, and usually 45 - 48. They have some managers who discriminate on age and gender. When you go to HR they are behind management. This HR scenario happened to me, as well as to 5 others working in my area, and we all left SAS within 2 years for other companies because of poor treatment. My manager did not like me exercising at lunch (he did not himself) and badgered me endlessly to stop until I complained to HR. I left and have never looked back at this privately held company. When I read how SAS is a #1 company, I smile wryly, as me and those who left it think otherwise.

Pros

- People you work with are nice - Cafe’s are great although I’ve heard the prices have doubled so probably going to be similar to every other company that becomes Public

Cons

PAY. I am so glad I started to have conversations with others and on how much they were getting paid. So many people who have spent years are getting paid so much less than the new hires. This does not sound like a good place to work. Also a lot of the younger generations are looking elsewhere. Older people closer to retirement are just ready to retire.

Pros

1. Great benefits 2. Good work life balance 3. No micro management

Cons

1. Bad compensation, compared to the local market. 2. Bad HR policies. No real effort to retain skilled employees. 3. Lack of management appreciation. Management only focussed on the sprint deliverables, releases etc. No time for employee check-ins/appreciations/growth. 3. Retaining offer presented two days before the last day as HR didn’t have time to meet with the resigning employee sooner. Not that, it would have made any difference with my decision. 4. Technical skills undervalued and there by under-utilized. So the tech savvy employees runs the risk of losing those skills they have.
