Vantaggi

Amazing bright colleagues, inspiring mission, great benefits, most people in the country will return your calls. Great learning opportunities.

Svantaggi

They hire some of the best and the brightest, but then give them little power to act on it. Unrealistic faith that great strategic planning and technology alone can change the world Too much value placed on to "manage up" -- especially to Bill (that guy in the corner office)

Thanks o much for your review. It was nice to hear your thoughts on the positive aspects and it's always helpful to hear perspectives of employees based upon their experience. The foundation continues to work hard to be a good partner with grantees and others within the ecosystem.
