Employee Testimonials

A unique thing which I noticed about SAS over last 10 years is graceful adaptation of mass scale changes. SAS has had a complete revamp of its technologies and developments/delivery models over last couple of years, but none at the cost of employees discomfort. All the teams and employees feel more involved and grown than ever before. The entire transformation was so smooth and well focused over harmonious growth of employees and company together.

The organization gives equal importance to employee's families and provides encouragement and support. It also makes them contribute to and participate in various events. In the current pandemic, the organization has provided all types of assistance so that each one of us could work smoothly from home/remote location. It has also ensured that employees spend a good amount of time with families and support them while working from home.
