Product Marketing Manager
Pros: * Microsoft is turning itself around, and for the first time in a long time it is doing really cool things. This is the perfect timing to be part of the transition and part of its new future. 
* It has great flexible work. Most days, I work from home. Most of my colleagues are virtually connected. This really helps when you have a family. 
* Strong brand on your CV
Cons: * Can be very political - networking is essential to succeed in the company
* Very much Corp driven. If you have a field role, it is very executional and you are very dependent on Corp. There's not much room for strong creativity.
* No clear path to getting promoted. A lot of lateral moves.
