Solid mission- but hostile work environment - Anonymous employee Gates Foundation Employee Review

-The Foundation is an unusual organization. It is plagued by management and leadership issues. -The entire culture is defined by the hostile and chaotic work environment. -Very 'America-centric' place to work. It isn't necessarily tolerant of people from different cultural backgrounds. -Old boy's club- that likes to promote based on nepotism. -Disrespect of non-Christian religious backgrounds. HR does nothing to address or help people who feel attacked and disrespected. -Arrogance- as the grantees have also complained. -President of Global Development often has personality conflicts- which affect the entire silo. -Hostile work environment with arbitrary decision-making and yelling.
