Pros

- Good work-life balance. - Decent benefits (although becoming less of a differentiator as other companies catch up). - Great campus facilities (subsidized cafeterias, work-out facilities, On-site daycare/healthcare/prescription). - Friendly co-workers.

Cons

- Stalled growth has limited raises, bonuses and profit sharing. In general, performance isn't tied to these anyway. Everyone gets the same thing so why bother putting in hard work. - Absolutely no career advancement. None. - As a younger person, SAS is a career suicide. I loved the company but had to leave to move forward.

Pros

Beautiful campus, benefits are amazing.

Cons

Too many “lifers” at SAS, lost touch with best practices. Promotions based on personal relationships versus truly being the best person for the job. HR seems to protect itself and has grown its kingdom. Out of touch management. IPO seems extremely unlikely.
