Pros

Opportunities to work in multiple domains over a period of time Great access to latest software and tools Great learning opportunities Great benefits

Cons

Your performance rating is decided how well others in your group performed (relative or stack ranking still takes place under the new performance system) even if you have delivered all your tasks satisfactorily You are lucky if you get a good manager who keeps his team in high spirits and fights for you. Not seen many in this category.

Pros

Fantastic products. Great to work on stuff that's recognizable by just about everyone in the world. Many people there are great to work with.

Cons

Xbox Live is severely understaffed, and work-life balance can be horrible at times. The worst part is that it's clear some of senior management are protecting their own. Several people easily should have been cut during the rounds of layoffs, but weren't.
