Pros

Benefits, Resources (IT, budgets, facilities).Employees perks are embarrassingly privileged when you consider the focus of the foundation.

Cons

Poor leadership that favors group think over competency. Very much a case of emperor’s new clothes across the board. Lack of accountability means goals just change and poor leaders remain in place. The waste and lack of fiscal responsibility is embarrassing and perpetuates laziness and a lack of innovation. There is a lot of discussion about culture and creating a supportive work culture but it falls well short. Am overall very, very disappointed in what had the potential to be so impactful but will fall short. If you want to contribute your talents to an organization that is truly invested in making the world a better place, consider other options, I know I am.
