SAS reviews

Very disappointed in company which claims to be the best place to work. Worked in two areas of the company including SAS OnDemand. Although the group is growing rapidly, the management team in this group is not interested in developing talent, but interested in getting the most of the individual by working project managers to the bone with 50-60 hr work weeks and loading them up with 5-10 clients at any one time. As a result, the client suffers, the work suffers and the employee suffers which in turn is the reason many project managers in this group leave in less than one year or get to their one year anniversary and look for another position writhin the company. In addition, the compensation within SAS is far below market for project managers. Also, very limited, if any opportunity within SAS to move up the career ladder. Overall, very disappointed with management within SAS and after talking with many current and former SAS employees this appears to be a common theme throughout the company. SAS has great marketing and PR, but in my experience the company falls woefully short of coming close to being one of the best places to work.

Advancement is limited so better REALLY enjoy what you currently do. In the wrong groups politics can be a major problem among peers, probably because of limited advancement opportunities. There's a sub culture of infidelity in certain areas of the company that have ruined marriages but is considered acceptable work behavior as long as it doesn't spill over.
