      Pros

      Great benefits and endless resources.

      Cons

      This place doesnt value their employees. It's practice encourage unhealth competion and back stabbing. No room forwork/family balance when unreasonable demands are placed on workers. Feeling burnout is common, not only because of the long hours but also the lack of trust.

      Thanks so much for your review. While we always hope that there is more advancement for our colleagues, we are finding that we are doing much better providing opportunities for stretch roles during parental leave backfills. If you'd like to share ideas with me or my on how to do this better, we'd love to chat. Pam.yanchik@gatesfoundation.org
