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

Pros

Not as corporate as you would think, particularly in comparison to other large tech companies. Lots of training available and opportunities with different products to develop my technical skills Really interesting and society changing products we work on which actually make a difference. This is one of the reasons why I love my job at SAS, unlike a lot of the other opportunities in the local area, my code is helping keep people safe and not lining the pockets of bankers. Great benefits to support me an my family, i'm particularly impressed with the sickness/health coverage, wellbeing days and the support we get from our managers. True hybrid working - I can choose if and when i come into the office

Cons

4 day working week would be the only benefit that i'd like to see introduced. There is a big cultural mix of people in the office which is great, however there could be more female representation.

great reputation, but

Pros

Great reputation, and fairly easy to move around and try new things. Leadership is trying to improve the company, but they are struggling at retaining talent. If you get a good manager, then you can have good flexibility and work life balance

Cons

Great reputation, but most of that seems to be historical. Some advertised benefits are almost impossible to get, and there is little transparency on whether you'll get them when you apply. Pay is significantly below local market, but that's obscured by the job title game. You are grouped into job titles that may not reflect the position you applied to or work you are doing. Moving up is political versus based on ability or contributions. If you get a great boss, it could be a great job, but bad managers are protected and complaints through proper channels can lead to being listed as a no rehire. Most tech companies have equivalent or better benefits. Some changes are very heavy handed and communicated horribly, but are sometimes reversed when there significant complaints. The company rewards talkers over doers. Not as friendly to diversity as it was historically. Some people get mocked over salaries or English speaking ability
