Pros

leveraging the resources of internal talent, global partnerships and well-allocated funds brings impact to the people we care about most

Cons

The foundation is large and sometimes gets sidetracked in its processes

Pros

Opportunity to work with passionate, driven, and smart people on complex and important global (and domestic) challenges. There is a growing focus on inclusive culture and equitable partnerships (with a lot of room for growth). Excellent benefits. Ability to move around through backfill and interim roles.

Cons

Bureaucratic/political work environment, and priorities are set from the top so a lot of time spent managing up. People managers are a very rare commodity - leadership hired for their technical expertise, not for their skills in managing people/relationships/conflict/etc. Competitive work environment with antiquated philosophies (in the already problematic field of philanthropy) around investing. Lack of transparency into leadership decision making.
