Pros

Free M&M's... if you consider that a pro! Great place to work because you really don't have to. Very nice gym and subsidized meals.

Cons

I worked as an intern in 08 and had a great experience only to return in 2014 to realize how negatively the place has changed. The place runs rampid with nepotism and career paths are inhibited by VP's, Senior Directors and Managers that have been there for decades. The Education Practice is joke and is losing ground to Microsoft's R analytical platform. Pay is less than industry competition and if you want upward mobility, plan on working there for a few decades with little to no encouragement.

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.
