Vantaggi

The pay and benefits are outstanding. There is certainly a feeling of "cache" when you work at Gates, the people you meet are incredibly intelligent, the travel can be exhausting but so satisfying.

Svantaggi

I would not go back to BMGF if they paid me a million dollars/year. This is an organization that is so poorly run, that wastes *unbelievable* amounts of money, that "re-orgs" departments every time someone sneezes (laying off long-term employees, moving people around like chess pieces). Top-heavy, cliques, does not care about the human beings who work there; we were all just bodies and brains to play with.

I'm so very sorry about your experience. It looks like you were at the foundation a few years ago, and I believe that some of your feedback has been heard internally and changes are happening. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts even if they are hard to hear.
