Vantaggi
Perfect work life balance, with flexibility to take time to tend to family needs or personal needs when needed. Working from home has been great and seamless but feel like they’ll pull that back when given the chance. On site amenities are amazing. Numerous great cafeterias, fitness center and fields/courts, lap pool, health care center and pharmacy and even massage therapists and hair stylists on site. As of now most of this is reduced due to Covid but still great perks. Insurances are second to none and premiums are low.
Svantaggi
Salaries are way below market and have been stagnant for many years. Promotions are very few and it seems hard to advance, even as a somewhat entry level employee. The IPO news, while exciting, will bring changes that I fear won’t be for the best. Probably controversial but mandating vaccines or you’re forced to resign is ridiculous. Lots of disconnect between upper management and developers. Attrition this year has been ridiculously high for SAS. Lots of knowledge and career SASers have left, and hardly anyone has been hired to replace them. Lots of reason contribute to this but salaries have to be one of them.
