Pros

Dedicated co-workers (if they’re not driven away) Health insurance Onsite amenities at HQ: healthcare, gym, daycare, cafes Salaries look lower than industry, but in-kind benefits help close the gap

Cons

SAS is really many companies in one-- each division has its own subculture. I can only outline the one division I was in: 1) Cheap, cheap, cheap. CapEx, OpEx, headcount, travel etc 2) Stingy with bonuses and praise 3) Niggardly with raises and promotions 4) Very hard to grow or move within the company 5) Rampant favoritism 6) Though Dr. G is not getting any younger, age discrimination is real Sadly, SAS is “regressing to the mean” as a workplace.

Pros

Great co-workers and healthy environment. Benefits are amazing. Demands are reasonable.

Cons

I think this is true for many places right now but post-COVID campus has become mostly remote work. You have to organize with your team when you want to have face-to-face interactions.
