      Pros

      Well paid. Lots of opportunity and smart people

      Cons

      DEI- still a white savior culture. Leadership and Management do not care about their people in general. Focused on power and influence

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Powerful mission Ability to fund good work that matters, if you are on a team empowered to execute. Good benefits and supports - including during the pandemic. When you have the right leadership and manager you truly feel like you can make a difference in the world. Resources, and the doors they open.

      Cons

      Limited technical expertise or focus on impact in some teams. Constant strategy refresh and overall inward focus impedes long term impact. Staff seen and treated as disposable = lack of psychological safety on many teams. Little change / impact on diversity and inclusion; no sense of belonging in many teams. Poor track record on immigration support to staff.
