Pros

Great environment Smart people Big vision Massive resources Good flexibility to create and follow though on big ideas

Cons

A bit of an echo chamber. Heavy on academics (which is neither good nor bad). Somewhat Limited engagement with target market businesses…mostly focus on local non-profits, think tanks and governments so sometimes big, complicated initiatives involve a lot of analysis but can get bogged down when the program requires negotiations with businesses and transitions into unglamorous delivery.

Pros

Ambition, level of resources, talent, brand, convening power, access to information, influence

Cons

Uncollaborative culture built on competition and insecurity. White male savior syndrome abounds. Too much money and power lead to wastefulness, arrogance, and bullying of grantees and staff.
