Principal Content Development Manager
Pros: New attitudes towards teamwork and recognition of work across groups as a priority are making roles at Microsoft more adaptable.  Fantastic benefits, giving campaign, MSPAC lectures, and wonderful networking opportunities.  HArd to find the time to fit them in!
Cons: Lots of red tape and horrible internal tools make simple work frustrating and time- consuming. GM- level decisions not always make for the long view, but rather for a fiscal year's objectives.  Poor track record of supporting certain areas.  A big investment one year, followed by a lack of interest the next, then another big push the following year.  It makes relationships with the ecosystem tricky.
