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

The benefits are wonderful including the health care package, reimbursement for day care, supported preventative health care services and programs, etc. SAS pays fairly based on the locale. The profit sharing and retirement funding seems fair for a private company.

Cons

No real career paths defined or realistic opportunities for those of us that are career focused instead of job focused. Lower level / new management and leadership training does not exist. If you want to grow your existing technical skills, that exists. However if you want training to promote yourself into a leadership role, it's all on you to driver yourself and hope that it meshes with the "SAS-way".
