OUR CULTURE

This could be you.

Our culture has always been an integral part of who we are as a company, connecting the curious nature that gave us our start, and the spirit of innovation that moves us forward. The way we act and interact is based on trust, respect and a bold motivation to drive change.

Empower curiosity through education outreach. Encourage the use of data for good. Embrace uniqueness through diversity. Give back through philanthropy. And collaborate with businesses to promote economic, social and environmental change.

Whether you're a university recruit or an experienced professional ready for the next big challenge, SAS will be a surprisingly good fit.

Our employee experience

WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION

WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION

Ninety-five percent of SAS’ assets drive out the gate every evening. It’s our job to maintain a work environment that keeps those people coming back every morning enthusiastic about what is possible. SAS focuses on holistically balancing and integrating positive aspects of work and life. By taking care of our employees, the rest takes care of itself.

MEANINGFUL WORK

MEANINGFUL WORK

On average, you spend 54 percent of your waking hours at work. Why not do something meaningful that you can be proud of? SAS is making a difference in people’s lives all around the world. Our analytics software helps organizations make important decisions that drive change every day – like how to capture the bad guys, keep kids safe, feed the hungry, and ensure that people who struggle to learn are not lost. 

EMPOWERMENT

EMPOWERMENT

We set the bar high for our employees and provide a culture that fosters creativity. Whether you’re developing software, selling it, marketing it or consulting with customers, your role is important. We’ve found that employees are happier if they feel valued – and mutual respect goes a long way, because satisfied employees mean satisfied customers. The leadership at SAS trusts our employees to get the job done.

WORLD-CLASS ENVIRONMENT

WORLD-CLASS ENVIRONMENT

Depending on the SAS location, you could be working in a college campus atmosphere or even a castle. Lots of windows, pops of color and original artwork offer inspiration throughout the day. Work out with friends at lunch, or take a yoga class, and come back relaxed and rejuvenated. Our Cary headquarters has an on-site recreation and fitness center, and our regional offices contract with area health clubs to encourage wellness. 

"I am proud to be part of such a talented, enjoyable and motivated team that is dedicated to making a positive impact. I feel respected and valued for what I bring to this company, and the team members here at SAS are all knowledgeable and passionate people. We’re all working toward a common goal, and we feel it."

Gaetano Varriale, SAS Account Manager, Sales, Italy

As a SAS employee, you’ll be focusing on our business and our customers. Let us focus on what you care about the most – your health and well-being, your earning potential, your professional path forward, and time to breathe so you can enjoy life outside of work.
