Pros

There are various opportunities and challenges in my current project. I'm leading a great team who take their responsibilities seriously and work well with one another. My upper management team value my input and give reasonable support.

Cons

Execution can be hit and miss. Some employees may be too complacent and not motivated to do a decent job. Product management can be weak and disorganized.

Pros

medical benefits access to learning materials surrounded by very intelligent older people, and motivated energetic young people a great place for a young person to start a career in analytics many perks if you work at HQ in Cary, NC simple and convenient way to add personal deviations to work travel pretty good IT support and travel support

Cons

managers do not go through any training and hence there are a lot of bad managers difficult to fit in when you are mid-career, not many opportunities to advance leadership qualities are not recognized or rewarded, focus is more on subject matter expertise, seniority, and who you know. 40 hour work week is often more than that travel and expense per diems are pretty low compared to other companies if travel internationally, you must ride in coach, they won't upgrade (even for a 17 hour flight) the CEO is a sweet man, but he is not a motivational speaker so town halls are boring Very poor communication during re-orgs very siloed roles, not much cross-training with a larger than normal population of high intelligence, is a larger than normal share of arrogance many of the perks that make SAS a great place to work do not apply to remote workers

Pros

SAS still leads in analytics solutions and products and has deep bench of very bright minds for problem solving

Cons

A typical large company model of large bureaucracy with a lot of protected functional silo's that hold them back
