Pros

Great campus and cafeterias, reasonable priced, lots of on-site facilities. If you are an under-performer you tend to be able to stick around for a while, I often found myself waiting to get deliverables accomplished because peers or other groups were out for a a couple of their 25 days a year vacation. While a great majority of corporate campus is riddled with under achievers, there are super nice people that will work as hard as they know how to help you on board.

Cons

Was unaware of their culture in the industry prior to joining and the mass exodus of 2016 did not leave many customers in a purchasing position. If I were to give any advice, I would say that after you join, learn as much as possible and then start to look for an exit strategy, over-achievers don't last long. Engineering staff is friendly and fun to work with, but if you come from a high energy high potential firm, you have to babysit them to get what you need.

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.
