Pros

- various on campus amenities (not free like other big name IT, but more there for convenience) - good benefit designed around family with kids - good hours if you're not a developer

Cons

- little to no career growth - low comp, laughable raise and bonus - lots of politics, different groups under the same division sometimes won't cooperate for a common mission - R&D direction is ambitious, but unclear how it will carry out with severe lack of human capital to do everything on the book. - front-line managers tend to be micromanaging and doesn't assign work according to team member strengths but rather availability. - Most HR don't have the employee's best interest at heart, but SAS HR makes an effort to make sure short-term cost minimization comes before retaining valuable employees.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
