Vantaggi
Work/life balance and benefits! In my experience it's hard to beat what they offer here at SAS. There's no question what comes first around here and that's family. I find I can no longer participate in the gripe sessions with friends and family when they dog the company they work for....and that's a good thing! With onsite health care, gym and child care you really can't ask for much more and yet they find ways to throw in little extras here and there along the way. The people here are very friendly and I'm always met with warm, smiling faces. The campus is beautiful and even has nature trails and lakes.
Svantaggi
Very large here at headquarters with 5000+ employees, so I feel like I work with a bunch of strangers at times. Being a software company, things are forever changing so just when you get use to something, a newer version comes along prompting changes. That's actually a good thing for me but some may not cope to well with change. There is a bit of nepotism going on here, but I couldn't say I wouldn't try to help my family members get on at this great company as well! I have to say the biggest thing I'm disappointed about is the lack of tuition reimbursement and gift matching. But i guess we can't have it ALL.
