I am so jealous. the company where i work would take the stuffing out of our chairs if they could sell it. They make us come in early so our lunch break is "our time" then they make us work thru lunch. illegal you say ? lots of illegal stuff, but no one will complain. Modern day slavery.

They have tons of 'non-computer scientist' type jobs. If you would actually take the time to look at the job listings, you would see that. There were actually 2 housekeeping jobs up just a couple days ago.

It's tough to get an interview there. I have a CSC degree from NCSU with 12 years of IT experience, applied for several jobs at SAS but never heard back.

The people that I know that work at SAS aren't programmers. They're the art director, food court manager, grounskeepers, etc. They all found their jobs when SAS advertised. Can't say they only advertise for software development positions.

I love how much information people have on a company that they do not work for. Thank you to the people that do work for SAS to give us more information and personal experience. I am sure the naysayers will not believe you.

Yeah, I work at one of those places where they say, "be thankful you have a job..." when anyone dares to make any constructive criticism. Congrats to those who work for companies like SAS where the value of great employees is recognized (and they are rewarded).

"Madam, a software company needs other types of employees to run the company, too. But when do they post other types of jobs?"

All the time. Maybe you just arent qualified for any of them.

its funny...all my friends at SAS are extremely happy working there. I work at a company that made Triangle Business Journal's top places to work 5 years in a row. I'm sure the negative nancy's would be on here talking about how horrible my place of employment is, too, but let me tell you....when you have benefits out the wazoo, an on site health club, free personal trainer, massage therapist, awesome health care that is dirt cheap for employees, 6 weeks vacation, and your employer's rate of pay is ranked in the top 99th percentile, you get, and KEEP, happy, loyal, hard working employees.

I work hard for my employer because I'm appreciated and my hard work is rewarded. I know that's hard to comprehend if you've never been in that sort of environment. It took me 2 years to realize the honeymoon feeling was never going to end. We are left to do our jobs and arent micromanaged to death, we're paid very well, and we have great benefits. Yep, sounds like a reason to complain...

Babeedoll, puleeeze, maybe it is that great. You don't work there and you're bitter because they didn't hire you. Sheesh.

I see a trend here that I see everywhere else too - people who think they're entitled and the world and employers owe them something. To reap rewards, one must sow the proper seeds. If you want a great job at a great company, then you have to be what that company is about. I'm an IT manager at another company that is also great to work for - IF you're of the right mindset and skill level and you have the right attitude. My staff have told me they wouldn't work at SAS (when they really could) because I'm not there. I treat them well, as does our company and WOW you should see the work they put out as a result. These people have the skills and attitude and they are the cream of the crop! People, don't be stupid...BE the people that make a company great and you too will be rewarded in many ways.
