Pros

The benefits if you are a new parent or are on-site at the Cary campus are wonderful. The pay is on par with industry averages. Recruiting for younger talent is picking up. Upper level managers seems to have it made. There is very little movement when people reach this threshold.

Cons

Benefits are lacking for remote employees (those that do not live in North Carolina). Advancement opportunities and clear career development are lacking especially for those outside of Cary, NC. Mid-career people beware. Don't believe everything you read in "Best Places.." reports. Do the research first and mold to your own circumstances. There is very little direct training for new managers and most are more task managers than people managers. Performance reviews are hit and miss. Some manager use them, some don't.

Pros

SAS Institute has a beautiful campus, wonderful people and great benefits. There is a healthcare facility and pharmacy on campus.

Cons

The salary is below industry standards for many positions and opportunities for advancement are rare. Since the financial meltdown, all positions (except for sales) have been on a hiring freeze - meaning that their is no increase in staff but an ongoing increase in the amount of work required of each employee. This becomes a burden for even for over achievers.
