Pros

Secure employment, reasonable benefits, good work environ.

Cons

Too secure employment encourages defensive wall making and little innovation by nearly all managers – most managers have been with SAS for tens of years or are friends with a long entrenched manager. This includes all of the original SAS staff – and of course, knowing Jim is always a plus.

Pros

Beautiful campus, benefits are amazing.

Cons

Too many “lifers” at SAS, lost touch with best practices. Promotions based on personal relationships versus truly being the best person for the job. HR seems to protect itself and has grown its kingdom. Out of touch management. IPO seems extremely unlikely.
