Pros

SAS Institute takes pride in its supposed employee focus culture. Although this might have been true in the past, the situation has dramatically evolved.

Cons

The company spends a lot of time and efforts to promote its Great Place to Work label. The issue is behind the scene, it is a totally different story. All top executives have been with the company for over a decade and reluctance to bring new blood from outside leads the management team to lack the very basic leadership skills

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.
