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

There is a reason that SAS continues to be one of the great places to work year after year. A lot has to do with the benefits that are afforded to the Cary, NC. employees, most of which are available to visiting company members as well. Just do a little Googling and you will find everything you need to know.

Cons

One of the things that makes SAS a great place to work, the longevity of its employees, can also be seen as a con as well. There are pockets of ridged process workers that have been at SAS for 20+ years that believe that they exist from a corporate perspective for the field to serve them. What is actually needed is a balance of the field and corporate to understand that neither exists without the other. Those same corporate people are also sometimes viewed as not understanding how the world has evolved. Somehow a fresh dose of how business has changed over the past 20 years needs to be instilled so SAS can work as an agile partner to its customers
