Pros

- amazing culture with strong focus on employees. Senior leadership absolutely committed to people. - outstanding technology - smart, dedicated, passionate people who want to make a difference - open environment

Cons

- there is an inflection point happening in the analytics space where many of the largest clients are evaluating core technology and creating their own solutions based on open source technology. This is to avoid costly licensing fees and to accelerate time to benefit (given that SAS technology is notoriously complex to deploy). The company is late recognizing and responding to this change, and in many cases has seen the combination of open source and cloud delivered solutions pass it by.

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.
