    No doubt in my mind that SAS is a GREAT place to work — I hear that from folks there a lot. However, this survey, putting McDonalds as the #20 great place work? Seriously? I have not heard anyone ever say how great it is to work at McDonalds. That gives me great pause in accepting the data presented. Again, no doubt on the wonderful qualities of SAS, but I smell a statistical rat in this data, perhaps some of those happy SAS employees could dig into this? :-)
