Pros

Work life balance is respected. Some very talented people. Good benefits. Compensation is generous for certain roles. In their niche SAS have the best technology available.

Cons

Strange cult like management structure. Company is run by dictates coming from the very top. Career advancement is limited unless you are in the secret circle. Remote employees are second class citizens. Company focuses too much on home state. Benefits have been eroding year on year. Too much unnecessary travel by managers to pad their awards accounts. We think we have to write everything ourselves. R&D over engineers technology.

Pros

Well established multi national company. Strong brand in the realm of analytical products. Was #1 place to work up until 5 years ago. Emphasis on work life balance.

Cons

Very slow to change, rapidly loosing leadership in industry and playing catch up. Lowest salaries compared to equivalent industry standards. Secretive hierarchical management, high turn over and unhappy customers contributing to diminishing sales.

Pros

- decent salary + bonus (bonus is available after one year) - standard corporate benefits which are nice - flexibility

Cons

- clique like workplace where bullying seems to thrive, it’s not an enjoyable place for women to work especially - dated infrastructure, the company is still in the process of moving to the cloud - dated technology, the team I was in used React however the ways of writing the code was very dated, lack of testing and slow to move to more modern ways of writing JavaScript such as TypeScript - career opportunities as a senior software developer seem non-existent
