Pros

SAS provides good benefit to employees and thanks to that, my bills to Psychologist got paid. Beautiful campus and on-campus gym but its open hour is pretty much same as working hour. I didn't see a reliable hour for me to work out there except sacrificing my lunch time.

Cons

Very bad manager in my team. Day 1, he told me all we need to do is to make Jimmy Goodnight happy. I was not allowed to listen to the music while working in my office, etc. He is very unhelpful. Not only did he refuse to organize weekly meeting for team but he also rejected to make a meeting for me and someone else that can be helpful to my project and People in my team only care their own. Other than that, he is always condescending me since we have different opinions on a topic before. Thanks to him I have been suffering from depression issue for 2 and half years. Very bad source code. Many source codes were written years ago and poorly documented and they even said this is SAS culture. Even the author forgot what they are doing and also refused to provide any help. Very bad desktop I was given (was some former employee's and took them 3 months to give me a new one) Very unhelpful HR team. I talked to HR many times about the management issue in my team but they seem do not care. There is no future working here unless you want to retire in NC and just enjoy the current STABLE paycheck from them and not even enough for inflation (3 years and my salary increased 2% once) I have got a new offer ( x2.5 more than my current salary) from other company and leaving SAS soon

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.
