Pros
medical benefits access to learning materials surrounded by very intelligent older people, and motivated energetic young people a great place for a young person to start a career in analytics many perks if you work at HQ in Cary, NC simple and convenient way to add personal deviations to work travel pretty good IT support and travel support
Cons
managers do not go through any training and hence there are a lot of bad managers difficult to fit in when you are mid-career, not many opportunities to advance leadership qualities are not recognized or rewarded, focus is more on subject matter expertise, seniority, and who you know. 40 hour work week is often more than that travel and expense per diems are pretty low compared to other companies if travel internationally, you must ride in coach, they won't upgrade (even for a 17 hour flight) the CEO is a sweet man, but he is not a motivational speaker so town halls are boring Very poor communication during re-orgs very siloed roles, not much cross-training with a larger than normal population of high intelligence, is a larger than normal share of arrogance many of the perks that make SAS a great place to work do not apply to remote workers
