Pros

Work-life balance and benefit packages are excellent

Cons

R, a free statistical software, has been overwhelming SAS and there seems no future there. Jobs skills that one would obtain in SAS are very specific only to SAS and useless in other company, so you would have nowhere else to go if you would get laid-off.

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.
