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.

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.
