Pros

It has good benefit especially if you work in the Headquarters. Generous parental leave and child subsidy.

Cons

Been with SAS for 14 years and there is very little career opportunity. SAS is also losing steam as many company are using open source and not willing to pay for the SAS software. You have to be vocal and ask for promotion, otherwise, you won't get promoted.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
