Pros

Company benifits and hours of work. SAS has some of the best facilities, offices, gyms, grounds, child care centers and healthcare facilities. The cafeterias are excellent. Most people only work 35 hours a week and its a very laid back environment.

Cons

Very clickish and few career opportunities. Most senior leadership has "grown-up" in SAS and its all about who you know. There is a lot of politics under the covers and if are not a part of the right crowd you can forget it. Also, for a technology company it is a VERY WHITE company. In my 7 years at SAS I came across very few non-whites and almost none in management.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
