I worked at Vulcan full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
They love free thinkers and allow you to grow
Cons
Going through a transition so layoffs could be an issue
I have been working at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Opportunity to work with amazing people on some complex and important global and domestic challenges. Increasingly intentional focus on inclusive culture and equitable partnerships.
Cons
Hectic and political work environment, and priorities are still set from the top so a lot of time spent managing up.
