Pros

Great benefits if you work in Cary, average if you work elsewhere. Generally good co-workers. Ethical workplace. Great office locations.

Cons

Very insular and politcal workplace. The technology is far behind the times, and falling further. SAS skills are no longer percieved as valuable in the employment market.

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.
