Business outlook
Pros
Foundation has wonderful mission and is funded to make progress. Everywhere you go, people will say "Wow, you work at the Gates Foundation? How do I get a job there?" Incredibly smart, talented people who are passionate about making a difference in people's lives. Fabulous benefits. Great physical work enviroment. It will be even better with the move to the new campus in April 2011.
Cons
Culture of management setting unrealistic goals within a given period of time. Burnout among employees is very common and work/life balance is nearly impossible in order to be successful at the foundation.
