      Pros

      At times, the glitz and glamor of the Milken Institute’s network can be fun, and the opportunities to be around the rich and famous is a good draw in.

      Cons

      Toxic personalities in leadership at Milken are rampant and are swept under the rug. HR is supportive, but cannot act on any grievances. It is a o.k place to land out of school or further in your career, but do not expect a clear trajectory for career growth internally. Leadership treats lower level employees as disposable, relying on the power of the Milken name to attract resumes in their wake. When internal growth is seen, it is often an immensely cumbersome process that feels more of a fight than a celebration of performance. The massive turnover and lack of intervention is apparent once the excitement of getting to be involved in the Milken network wears off.

      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.
