Vantaggi

– Intelligent coworkers – Potentially interesting work – The first two weeks of work are SAS training, so no experience with SAS is needed – Visa sponsorship (anecdotally, 1/3 or more of the employees are non-citizens) – I seldom work more than 40 hours/week. This varies by team though.

Svantaggi

– Low pay and minimal benefits – SAS isn't used almost anywhere else – Low retention (Also a pro! Employees move on to better, higher-paying jobs after 2 years on average) – Not a social workplace at all. It feels like being in an elevator with strangers, except for 40 hours/week. It's downright awkward. – Since seniority is prized and retention low, management is a motley crew of whoever sticks around. Two big groups: good programmers who make bad managers, and MaCurdys (the CEO hired ~4 family members for top leadership roles).
