Pros
Great pay and benefits. High prestige (at least up till Epstein files) and high access. Your emails will never go unresponded.
Cons
Not everyone uses their powerful position as a Gates employee responsibly. Bad behavior -- such as pushy / demanding grant officers, toxic and micro-managing leadership and prioritizing politics over impact -- is often rewarded with good behavior penalized.
