    SAS Institute Senior Technical Writer:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    Secure employment, reasonable benefits, good work environ.

    Cons

    Too secure employment encourages defensive wall making and little innovation by nearly all managers – most managers have been with SAS for tens of years or are friends with a long entrenched manager. This includes all of the original SAS staff – and of course, knowing Jim is always a plus.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Management does not need any further advice - there have been numerous surveys describing in detail what their very smart employees desire. It was pointed out to me by a long-time data warehousing expert, who chose to leave SAS -- because, as various offices were closing throughout the US - Jim bought a private plane.
