Pros

Honestly the food is the best benefit of all. It is top notch and delicious. Architecture and new buildings are beautiful. Colleagues are smart.

Cons

This WAS a great place to work. Unfortunately, they've decided to increase healthcare costs and allow employees to shoulder higher out-of-pocket costs. In addition, the retirement plan took a drastic hit. While HR would like you to "think" that increasing employer contributions to 6% is a great deal for employees, this is actually standard for a company of this size. Oh, and they took away the end of year employer retirement contribution - the best benefit of all (this is literally a $10k decrease in benefits for many people). But did you hear they added a few measly weeks onto maternity leave, making it more in line with other companies? I'm not sure how SAS was the best place to work in years prior, but I think they are barely squeaking by now as a "regular" company.

Pros

Beautiful campus, benefits are amazing.

Cons

Too many “lifers” at SAS, lost touch with best practices. Promotions based on personal relationships versus truly being the best person for the job. HR seems to protect itself and has grown its kingdom. Out of touch management. IPO seems extremely unlikely.
