Pros

- various on campus amenities (not free like other big name IT, but more there for convenience) - good benefit designed around family with kids - good hours if you're not a developer

Cons

- little to no career growth - low comp, laughable raise and bonus - lots of politics, different groups under the same division sometimes won't cooperate for a common mission - R&D direction is ambitious, but unclear how it will carry out with severe lack of human capital to do everything on the book. - front-line managers tend to be micromanaging and doesn't assign work according to team member strengths but rather availability. - Most HR don't have the employee's best interest at heart, but SAS HR makes an effort to make sure short-term cost minimization comes before retaining valuable employees.

Pros

Excellent work place, smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

Senior management is just that - management, there is no leadership Organisation is very political. Your greatest chance for promotion is to do as instructed without questioning anything. They value conformity more than individual thinking.

Pros

Great benefits and investment in employees, highly social, advancement.

Cons

Company (Memex) was bought by SAS and was left with bad habits. Veteran developers working at coding roles and low experience developers (1-3 years out of university) in decision making positions (supervisors, team leaders and even managers). Too much moving around of staff meant that, my original reasons and conditions of taking the position were forgotten 3 months in.
