Pros

Great opportunities to learn and grow technically and personally, great people to work with, outstanding benefits. Assigned work is interesting but the chance to explore and add value through research, technical efforts and other independent activities is supported and encouraged. Working with other very bright people is stimulating and fun, as well as challenging and mentally healthy. Work life balance is recognized as important to making people able to be creative and productive and we have fun at work and away from work. Benefits are at the top of the industry.

Cons

R&D needs to find ways to deliver new releases quicker to respond to platform changes. Products are outstanding and lead the market but sometimes cause heartburn for customers who are on the latest versions of platforms.

Pros

Good benefits, very decent people. You have every opportunity to learn. Offer balanced work/life environment to most business units.

Cons

Sales compensation too grey and probably leaves a lot to be desired in "motivating" new customer/revenue opportunities. Although it seems "neat" at first, the quirky "perks" like M & M's every Wednesday is not the reason someone should believe they are work for a "great" company. There is no way to make more than an average income at almost every business function level. You have to "love" working FOR SAS to justify staying when many friends and/or peers choose challenges for management, money and more dynamic work environment.
