Pros

Benefits, culture, work-life are all great. 13% profit sharing for 30+ years is very strong. Its' truly a place where you can have it all - cutting edge work, professionla collegues and a life outside of work. The hype is true.

Cons

Pay is below market. Doesn't take to outsiders well. Guess that's the trade-off for having a life outside of work. And there can be a lot of poltics, depending on your level. Fir the average employee, its pretty benign. No equity. What happens when Goodnight retires or dies?

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.
