      Pros

      The Milken Institute has been an extraordinary organization to grow my career. I have learned valuable leadership, business development, strategic planning, program management, and relationship management skills. I have also learned the finer points of advocacy, convening, and communication. I have expanded my network to key thought leaders and influencers that would have otherwise been out of reach. The organization is entrepreneurial, and as such, I have been able to carve a robust niche for my work. The Institute leadership has invested in and supported me throughout my tenure.

      Cons

      The centers could work more collaboratively together.

      Pros

      They pay well and thus are able to hire well qualified and capable people.

      Cons

      I worked with MCAAD, but my experience there and my perception of the Milken Institute were aligned. This was the worst career decision I have ever made and I truly regret it. Senior leadership doesn't listen or care about others' opinions. We were often told to be quiet in meetings, and to sit and let our bosses talk. Zero autonomy. Micromanaged to an extreme. Frequent layoffs. Terrible communication between departments. HR is shockingly awful and will not respond to emails, and often makes errors on your benefit allocations. Your personal time is not respected. I waited a while to write this review so it wouldn't sound too bitter, but I strongly recommend avoiding this org. Unfortunately, the mission and their public-facing reputation doesn't align with the reality of working there.
