Pros

The employee benefits are amazing. There are chances for growth and development.

Cons

Very poor administration policies. Employee performance reviews are not done. Non technical training is disorganized. Much of the creativity in SAS is stymied based on how middle management believes the CEO will perceive the idea. Submitting an idea that runs contrary to the immediate manager's opinion can be dangerous. Additionally, many employees are held responsible for cost issues while accounting information was too closely held to be useful. SAS' approach to the international market is often short sighted.

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.
