Pros
Global brand reputation is still strong, there are some nice people working there
Cons
Unlike other SAS offices, SAS Middle Office has never been even nominated for the Best Employer awards, and there is good a reason why. It's all a big clique of friends and relatives working together. If you aren't Lebanese then you won't be respected, recognized or appreciated, and please forget about chance to make a career. Despite pretty statements no one is really interested in working together. While HR is clueless and powerless, managers are more interested in office politics, blatant gossiping and blaming others for lack of progress and their mistakes instead of actually taking care their people or their work. Company lacks progress, process and drive to strive as an organization as a whole. Sales team is very inefficient which is surprising for such a well known and used global product. Work/life balance is non-existent if you are not some sort of a manager, expect working long hours as well as weekends without any sort of compensation or even appreciation.
