Group specific experience
Pros: Great people to work with and interesting tasks. I was using a mix of software and hardware description languages to do my task and I think that is very rewarding. Also, my manager was very easy-to-approach and gave me good feedback based on my performance. Also, the benefits are decent.
Cons: The company's experience is very group-specific. If you don't pick you group carefully, you could easily end up in a group you don't like very much. Also, the company as a whole has very bad press-coverage. A day does not go by that I notice some headline somewhere saying something negative about Microsoft.
