      Pros

      Good healthcare, onsite recreational facilities, flexible work hours, low stress, good vacation, holiday schedule, good brand image of the company in the market.

      Cons

      Slow paced work environment. Lack of mentoring by managers. Excessive nepotism among management. Upper management has no clue how to drag the company into the 21st century or how to prepare for upcoming challenges in the industry. Job security is a double edged sword: people are too complacent: for a company owned by a Republican that prides on selling software which improves customers' efficiency, they themselves operate as a socialist utopia. Average employee age is 45+ and it really shows in the day to day operations. I personally know people that don't do ANYTHING. Some don't even show up for work for days on end. All it takes is an incompetent manager who will just look the other way.

      Pros

      A lot to learn about what not to do to fail as a company A time machine sets you back to technology of the 80s. You may even get to send a fax or tell a customer our legal team is not familiar with docusign! It’s really helpful to observe where people come to both do the bare minimum for 20+ years and where they die since no one there ever leaves the company. I’d say SAS is a wonderful early retirement home where the entire user base is actually retired or dead. Their remaining market share is people over 65 that boast about how they learned SAS code in the 70s. If you want to be on the brink of watching a 2B dollar company lose 1/3 of their revenue YOY, this is a good place to observe. Their technology is super powerful but they do not realize that r&d investments do not fix their horrendous management and legacy processes. If you want to be used for sitting and looking pretty with being penalized for speaking in your own deals and being robbed by men that will take what is yours, I’d say this is the perfect place for you to succeed by doing nothing at all!

      Cons

      They are so white collar that they value wearing a cardigan more than respect for others. There is something “off” with all the people that work there. They kind of have this creepy sparkle in their eye like they are programmed to be as monotone and serialkilleresque as possible. If you want to work with people that are wearing depends to work trying to teach you about modern technology on their think pads - come on through: If you are willing to work in a fake sales environment where comp plans are delivered 6 months into the fiscal year, you have the benefit of wasting the companies money on trips that make them 0 dollars. If you want to tell people why SAS code from 1987 is better than python and R, go look in the mirror... laugh... and run away!

      Pros

      Benefits are good and people in NC recognize the name

      Cons

      Leadership has no clue what is going on in any industry from the CEO to the managers. The products are horribly designed and unstable. Politics are ramped especially in the consulting arm. They are positioned horribly in the analytics/statistics space. The company is shrinking instead of growing and Viya is a waste of everyones time.
