Pros

Opportunity to work with amazing people on some complex and important global and domestic challenges. Increasingly intentional focus on inclusive culture and equitable partnerships.

Cons

Hectic and political work environment, and priorities are still set from the top so a lot of time spent managing up.

Pros

Ambition, level of resources, talent, brand, convening power, access to information, influence

Cons

Uncollaborative culture built on competition and insecurity. White male savior syndrome abounds. Too much money and power lead to wastefulness, arrogance, and bullying of grantees and staff.
