Pros
Health insurance is great, retirement is good and work life balance is decent. I work with some very talented and supportive direct management and colleagues that make working every day worthwhile. The campus itself is a wonderful place to visit and work.
Cons
There has been a tension in the air for years about the future of the company. Benefits have been getting worse over time. It's starting to get worse. One of the major selling points to the lower salary many employees receive is the work life balance and the outstanding benefits. That's not as much of a mitigating factors and I don't see it getting any better. Hiring is frozen and there will be no raises this year across the board. Career opportunity feels very limited for those with high levels of ambition. The flat management structure is part of that and the low turnover is another. The company is getting hit by competitors on all sides and that's only going to keep going. SAS needs to find the secret sauce or we will get overtaken.
