Pros

You work with smart people for the most part. Good benefits. Depending on the group you are with there is a good opportunity for advancement. Get to work side by side with MS employees.

Cons

You're doing the same work as MS employees at a fraction of the pay. Upper management seemed to have no clue how to deal with our group. Reviews and salary raises system is archaic.
