Pros

The benefits cannot be overstated, they are unbelievably generous. The mission and resources available to "drive toward impact" (a very gatesian term) is noble and lofty. You may also get to work with some of the smartest, humblest, and nicest people in the world and learn so much.

Kontras

It is more likely that you will work alongside people who are just trying to do their job and stay under the radar. Too many reorgs, too many bad managers, and too much political lobbying for too few promotions from within the organization. Program staff can only get so far and then they just get more work and more responsibility dumped on them and support staff have nowhere to go. When opportunities do arise, it is always a cattle call and survival of the fittest. The most politically well-connected win the day. Skill, experience, competency, commitment don't always mean anything.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful post. I would love to sit down and chat with you about your experience. We are very committed to create more fairness and transparency around our promotional practices to reduce the impression that the most well connected employees get the opportunities. Please reach out to me directly for a meeting. pam.Yanchik@gatesfoundation.org
