Pros

Good medical plan, on site health care center, cafeteria, gym, office with a door, other niceties.

Cons

Not a place to build your career unless political games are your thing. This place is famous for its backstabbing. Managers won't help you succeed. There is no training or career development opportunity. Teams are basically non-existent; everyone is out for themselves. Everything is about appearances. The reality is that innovation and independent thinking is not appreciated and often actively discouraged, the "really smart people" have been around so long that they lack fresh ideas, basically dead wood who have learned to play the game and ride out the remainder of their careers. If you are passionate about your career and want to take the next step, this is not the place for you. It is a black hole, and your professional resume will be the first thing to get sucked into it.

Pros

Despite all of the organizational changes, SAS remains a great place to work, where employees are respected and prioritized. The work life balance is far superior in comparison to other orgs. If you really evaluate the platform, the “math and statistics” remain superior in comparison to other vendors, even though it might not be evident in the market.

Cons

Lots of organizational changes as of recent, which has caused employees some concern. In addition, the strategy has shifted to industry first- solving real business problems versus a traditional technical sell. This is the right move but should have happened years ago, considering all of the phenomenal success stories of clients using the software, which could be leveraged in the pre-sales process. All the hype with open source is hurting the business, but one really needs to get back to the math.
