Disappointed in my experience at SAS

Pros

Great campus and cafeterias, reasonable priced, lots of on-site facilities. If you are an under-performer you tend to be able to stick around for a while, I often found myself waiting to get deliverables accomplished because peers or other groups were out for a a couple of their 25 days a year vacation. While a great majority of corporate campus is riddled with under achievers, there are super nice people that will work as hard as they know how to help you on board.

Cons

Was unaware of their culture in the industry prior to joining and the mass exodus of 2016 did not leave many customers in a purchasing position. If I were to give any advice, I would say that after you join, learn as much as possible and then start to look for an exit strategy, over-achievers don't last long. Engineering staff is friendly and fun to work with, but if you come from a high energy high potential firm, you have to babysit them to get what you need.

Pros

The cafeterias are wonderful and Jim Goodnight is a saint. If you like working out, the gyms always have a spot available.

Cons

Since this is a North Carolina company, you can be fired for no reason, as I was. Human Resources said I wasn't learning the software fast enough, but I had been there for 13 years and had written several books on SAS/STAT, SAS/QC, SAS/ETS, SAS/IML, and others.
