great reputation, but

Pros

Great reputation, and fairly easy to move around and try new things. Leadership is trying to improve the company, but they are struggling at retaining talent. If you get a good manager, then you can have good flexibility and work life balance

Cons

Great reputation, but most of that seems to be historical. Some advertised benefits are almost impossible to get, and there is little transparency on whether you'll get them when you apply. Pay is significantly below local market, but that's obscured by the job title game. You are grouped into job titles that may not reflect the position you applied to or work you are doing. Moving up is political versus based on ability or contributions. If you get a great boss, it could be a great job, but bad managers are protected and complaints through proper channels can lead to being listed as a no rehire. Most tech companies have equivalent or better benefits. Some changes are very heavy handed and communicated horribly, but are sometimes reversed when there significant complaints. The company rewards talkers over doers. Not as friendly to diversity as it was historically. Some people get mocked over salaries or English speaking ability

Pros

Most have their own offices. Decent food in the cafeteria. Interesting products.

Cons

This company doesn't seem to operate as a merit-based company. It seems to operate as a high school clique which operates via popularity. The politics are bizarre to say the least, and there is little accountability. Some areas of the company are heavily loaded with staff, but it's unclear what value they produce. Certain members of management seem to ride the coattails of their favorite staff members, seeking ways to justify their own existence. Does SAS really still sell software, or does it exist based on renewals? This is not a place to work long-term if you want marketable skills for use elsewhere.

Low pay, dictatorial leadership, longer hours, no empathy/sympathy, management tries to force upon you their cultural beliefs.
