Worst management ever

Pros

Great talented people in the trenches who LOVE the company! Many want to do amazing work but are being held back by ineffective management

Cons

Politics are petty and ridiculous as VPs jockey for favor from Dr Goodnight which massively impacts average employees. Micro management is the worst I've ever seen. Herding turtles regarding the employees who have been here 25+ yrs and there are a lot of them. Pay is below average. 35 hour work week is a myth, not that there isn't the opportunity for it, just that management says they need everyone in the office and available for 40+ hrs per week. Flexible work arrangements are a myth. Summary: be at the office so everyone can talk to you if they *might* need to. Regardless of technology being able to provide that bridge. And the veterans are not fans of newbies who want to do rock star work.

Pros

Good benefits and that is about it.

Cons

Very disappointed in company which claims to be the best place to work. Worked in two areas of the company including SAS OnDemand. Although the group is growing rapidly, the management team in this group is not interested in developing talent, but interested in getting the most of the individual by working project managers to the bone with 50-60 hr work weeks and loading them up with 5-10 clients at any one time. As a result, the client suffers, the work suffers and the employee suffers which in turn is the reason many project managers in this group leave in less than one year or get to their one year anniversary and look for another position writhin the company. In addition, the compensation within SAS is far below market for project managers. Also, very limited, if any opportunity within SAS to move up the career ladder. Overall, very disappointed with management within SAS and after talking with many current and former SAS employees this appears to be a common theme throughout the company. SAS has great marketing and PR, but in my experience the company falls woefully short of coming close to being one of the best places to work.
