      Pros

      It's a great place to work if you are in a good group. You'll never find healthcare benefits that are better. Period. Fullstop.

      Cons

      If your manager does not support your career growth, you will stay exactly where you are. Companywide communication is poor.

      Privately held company with specific focus on analytics platform + consulting

      Pros

      Leader in the Analytics market segment for the past 4 decades delivering the SAS 9.x platform and solutions based on that legacy analytics platform. The company has a strong brand identity among statistics majors and "math people". Data scientists do pretty well at SAS with an endless supply of data scientist consulting opportunities to shine

      Cons

      So focused on Analytics as a discipline, software development as a discipline suffers. The company views delivering Analytic Insights "The Power to Know" as the primary deliverable, rather than delivering great software that happens to be great software focused on Analytics. This isn't meant to be a huge slam against them. It is just a shift in emphasis which I believe puts the company about 10 years behind the industry on cloud readiness given the huge success of their legacy Analytics platform (SAS 9.x). Often past success can sustain so much momentum that it takes a Herculean effort to build the modern replacement platform deployable and scalable in the cloud. It's never too late to supply the market with a great cloud platform for Analytics, but being late does leave a lot of opportunity on the table that will never be realized. More importantly it allows competitors like Google and Amazon to develop their own in-house analytics capabilities and expertise, and they have.
