Pros

SAS Institute is the largest privately owned software company and has a unique business model with a very strong corporate culture. It is a company you are proud of. SAS has the leading technology for analytics -full stop. It is the best place to be if you are into analytics. All workplaces worldwide are fantastic - SAS owns workplaces in special locations (many of them are castles)... let alone the Cary campus!

Cons

In many departments the structure is largely flat so career opportunities may be limited. As any big company there is some politics involved. Salary could be more competitive - local offices do not have as many perks as the Cary campus.

Pros

SAS provides a good work-life balance for those with families or other personal demands. SAS places a lot of emphasis on amenities such as on-site gym, day care, cafeteria, health care facility, etc. Benefits and time off are good, if you can have a job function that allows you to actually use all of your vacation.

Cons

SAS provides limited growth opportunities and little emphasis is placed on career development. Compensation is below market for many positions, so it appeals more to working couples than to younger professionals or sole wage earners. SAS is very manual in many of its business processes, so it tends to be overstaffed rather than focusing on technically efficient ways of doing business.
