Pros

The cafeterias are wonderful and Jim Goodnight is a saint. If you like working out, the gyms always have a spot available.

Cons

Since this is a North Carolina company, you can be fired for no reason, as I was. Human Resources said I wasn't learning the software fast enough, but I had been there for 13 years and had written several books on SAS/STAT, SAS/QC, SAS/ETS, SAS/IML, and others.

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.
