SAS reviews

Your immediate manager has complete control over your career. All the documentation in the world to dispute a situation doesn't matter to HR. HR is only there for the company's benefit, not the employee's.

Don't be fooled by the hype. SAS in Cary is a nepotism filled, "cool group clique," very close minded place. Middle management is terrible and HR is the worst I've experienced. Middle management in sales will sell you down the river because they don't like you, regardless of how much you sell. I've seen multiple, smart and talented people go on performance plans because they are not in the cool group at SAS. You can be a manager if you hit quota - regardless of if you are qualified for the position or not. This is a well known fact at SAS and they are losing a ton of talent because of it. Oh and if you have a problem, don't bother with HR. They are so intertwined with managers that it doesn't matter what you say - they won't ever help or listen.
