SAS reviews

If you want to be treated as awfully as humanly possible...join SAS. Think of what’s truly the worst scenario for anybody who is creative, innovative, self-motivated, caring and a productive employee...then eliminate all hope, compound it by a factor of 20...then you might be close to the level of deceit, self-service, discrimination, mistreatment, abuse, neglect and insanity known to mankind. That’s SAS. That won’t change. Company is doomed but more so, you’re doomed if you get swindled into working there! Customers of SAS are in even a worse position than SAS employees. Run and don’t look back, ever.

Little opportunity to advance Horrible technical management tolerated. Little accountability Matrix management org. Managers can evade genuine software shortcomings by scamming priority settings. While nonsensical external "bugs" can be escalated based on $$$, internal bugs can be postponed forever. Infighting between teams, via abuse of internal bug reporting and prioritization, tolerated/ignored. Internal tools are non-standard and complex. Time spent learning is a career dead end. C is everywhere, and it's super non-standard. Almost no C++. Java work at least builds transferable skills, but the anointed get way much leeway to pad their resumes by foisting nonsense onto everyone else. The Agile infestation is alive and well here. A few sensible principles in theory, thoroughly perverted in practice, cynically misinterpreted and exploited by the usual rouges' gallery of hucksters getting paid for their "expertise".
