      Pros

      Probably among the best benefit packages in the market. Great people and culture. Modern approach to work/life balance. Helpful and generous approach between co-workers as well as from international top management. Great on boarding program and continuos training.

      Cons

      Very conservative and product oriented. Facing some structural challenges to keep up with new emerging "good enough" players. Vague positioning and value offering. There has been too much focus on achieving short term numbers at the expense of investing in building local market awareness, positioning and branding.

      Pros

      A great campus for employees with good cafeterias, gym, swimming pool, on-site child care and other facilities like ATM, postal service, healthcare clinic etc. Life is more manageable working in SAS. Lots of resources for learning and access to great R&D team is a huge plus being in Cary.

      Cons

      Top management is excellent but middle management sucks! It is like working in a group of dictators who are part of the company for at least 10 years and knows the best and care less about company's interest. Feeding their own ego comes before everything else. If you are a type A personality and you have to report to a manager who is below VP level this job might destroy you no matter how creative or how talented you are. However few departments are outside of it. In general salary is at least 15%-30% lower than the market.

      Former Great Place to Work

      Pros

      Good solutions, strong name, market leader. Great values on a corporate level. Great HQ.

      Cons

      Not very innovative in recent years. Has been caught up and surpassed by several competitors. The whole "Great Place to Work" thing is greatly exaggerated. Not better than any other place I have been to. Not necessarily worse, but definitely not better either. The satellite locations (i.e. non HQ) are run like any other company and not "the SAS way".
