      Pros

      BMGF has a great mission - can be very inspiring to contribute. Very talented people to work with.

      Cons

      They are cultural challenges, somewhat related to the immense scale of the work. Related to that, work domains can be silo'ed. But leadership is working hard to address the issues.
