SAS reviews

Compensation is an absolute joke. Maybe 10 years ago it was competitive, but other companies offer leagues beyond what SAS offers. Doesn't matter if the company had a good year or not, bonuses seem to be completely unrelated to revenue. Senior management casts blame at developer when process is the issue, yet they offer no solutions other than "do better." They dodge questions instead of admitting they don't have an answer. SAS is swimming up a waterfall trying to stay competitive. They are far too slow to deliver software and refuse to drop parasitic customers that refuse to upgrade from legacy products. Too much time is wasted in development keeping outdated code alive and in setting priorities, because everything is "top priority." SAS used to be one of the best places to work, but the times have drastically changed. Senior management is shortsighted, idealistic, and out of touch. The company has a lot - and I mean a lot - of work to do before they can claim to be competitive in the market and as an employer.

Salaries 20-30% lower than industry, Raises typically 1-2% Bonuses typically 2-3% More offshoring and rumors of more layoffs in 2024. Always seeking feedback but never reacting to it, except the break room snack survey. Lip service to “career”, but no actual opportunities, just the same job with a different manager.
