Pros
Global reach with a great mission. Some positive people doing great things inspite of the bureaucracy and hierarchy. Just like American society, they talk a lot about their issues so in that way there’s transparency (but don’t actually fix them).
Cons
No career mobility, no accountability to address discrimination. The Management pronouncements and public image will say they encourage diversity and inclusion (D&I) and welcome Caribbean and Sub-Saharan African applicants. Reality is your qualifications have to be 10 times better than those from Part I countries (Part I are the donors, so it may be colonization in a new form.) The turnover of people of color and young people is high and prospects are low. You may get a great group or end up having to endure lots of hardships and ill treatment due to poor Management and staff there for a really long time. Unfortunately, there’s often a negative incentive to have you to just tick a diversity box to meet D&I targets/index for a few financial years. Beware!
