Pros

Great group to work with. Ok pay and benefits. Great flexibility with work/family life.

Cons

Some managers can be unprofessional and raises are supposedly based on performance however I see it more politically based.

Pros

Good people. Very busy and never bored. Constant facility growth. Free coffee is always nice. Good stepping stone company for somewhere else. Learned a lot.

Cons

positions are not well defined. Performance review process is a joke and not standardized - seems every manager does it differently. Eds out of touch with what it really takes to manage programs and execute the work. Absolutely no social culture - culture is work harder and then go home.

Pros

- They will hire any level of SAS programmer even with ZERO skill level so good for those looking to get experience in the industry on short-term basis

Cons

- POOR MANAGEMENT. Programming group is run by an individual or two sitting at high level with the philosophy of LOW PAY, MORE WORK, NO CAREER GROWTH, and propagating FAVORITISM (favoring some individuals over others for personal reasons, other than work-related) - LOW PAY - PROMOTIONS ARE A FOREIGN CONCEPT
