Pros

-Good compensation & benefits package as compared to local companies -Nice staff lounge with free flow of snacks -Good location

Cons

-Very political between departments so hard to work on trust -Not much teamwork within teamwork -HR cannot tell difference between merit-based increments, increments given to cope with rising costs and other increment practices. Simply communicate by insulting people first. -No cordial communication most of the times...

Don't believe the Hype

Pros

Solid financially, good vacation time, good job security, nice cafeteria, onsite healthcare, onsite gym, good if you have kids and can get them into daycare (based on seniority)

Cons

The benefits have been shrinking - greatly. If you are single then the pay and benefits are below what you would get elsewhere for the same work. The only benefit that I hear parents say that keeps them there is the daycare. Don't believe the 35 hour hype. That is only for people who are non-IT. If you are in IT it is a major pressure cooker. I am seeing lots of people leaving because they can get better work conditions and benefits else where. Little room for moving up. And difficult to move laterally unless you have been with the company for 20 years.

Pros

Not what it used to be, but still not a bad place to work.

Cons

Ponderous bureaucracy with too many incompetent managers. Way too much internal competition and politics. The employee-centric culture that made SAS standout 20 years ago, has eroded and the company is becoming just another software company.
