Pros

SAS Institute has a beautiful campus, wonderful people and great benefits. There is a healthcare facility and pharmacy on campus.

Cons

The salary is below industry standards for many positions and opportunities for advancement are rare. Since the financial meltdown, all positions (except for sales) have been on a hiring freeze - meaning that their is no increase in staff but an ongoing increase in the amount of work required of each employee. This becomes a burden for even for over achievers.

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.
