SAS Senior Software Developer reviews

SAS enumerations are average. SAS competitors in technologies are big names but in salary, SAS is behind them. SAS does not offer career development in terms of changing locations or moving from one stream to other

As is typical, I suppose, when a big company acquires a smaller one, upper management (including technological) from the parent has a "we know best" attitude. It took years for some folks to finally understand the nature and benefits of the product they were (now) selling. This "lack of listening" wasted millions of $$ and many developer-years of effort. Too bad, really. I mean, these guys are smart and had meaningful improvements to make in the product. It's just they didn't have the full picture. Which is ok. Unless you willfully stop yourself from seeing what is right in front of you... Management unwilling to pull the plug on failed experiments. Kept pouring good money after bad on those big technology bets. Never heard of "fail fast", I guess. I dare say, this lesson has been learned ... :-) The real downside to the big bets is that it has a real impact on people. You spend years of your working life on a project. You really want it to go somewhere. Upper management does not seem sensitive to this issue. Fewer opportunities to move to other products or teams from a remote office.
