Pros

Friendly people, on-site gym, childcare center, and sports to play

Cons

SAS is a mess now. People are leaving in droves. Management has failed to properly develop their talent and acknowledge their top performers. Compensation, raises, and bonus are not at all tied with the amount/quality of work accomplished. High amounts of office politics. The product is well below industry standard, however SAS survives another year based on past client relationships alone. It is a slow bleed as open source and companies closer to Silicon Valley continue to steal market share. With weaker tech, SAS further invested $1B in Viya which has proven to be buggy and painful to use even among SAS employees.

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.

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.
