Pros

Global platform to explore solutions to some of the world's biggest problem. International travel for those in senior positions.

Cons

Their job announcements claim that "every person at the Milken Institute is treated with respect, supported with resources and training, and exposed to a broad range of experiences." This claim could not be further from the truth. This so-called "think-tank" plays favoritism all of the time and treats employees differently depending on well they are liked by the C-suite. Employees are not supported with resources and training. Although it's supposedly a research organization, employees do not have access to leading journals and receive very little training in any professional development. Skills learned are mainly around event planning and fundraising -- substance is an after thought.
