SAS reviews

I worked as an intern in 08 and had a great experience only to return in 2014 to realize how negatively the place has changed. The place runs rampid with nepotism and career paths are inhibited by VP's, Senior Directors and Managers that have been there for decades. The Education Practice is joke and is losing ground to Microsoft's R analytical platform. Pay is less than industry competition and if you want upward mobility, plan on working there for a few decades with little to no encouragement.

The problem with being a fantastic company to work for is that very few employees leave, and most of those that do are the ones that have hit their head on the ceiling and really want to do more. Management and other leadership positions are hard to come by because those positions rarely open up. Most employees have no real career path beyond <title>, senior <title> and principal <title>, and those are really just about the same job. Line managers know this and really struggle to sell a career path in the hiring process. Folks based at HQ lead the good life. If you're remote or work at home, the fantastic campus and associated benefits just look like a giant expense sink hole
