      Political organization that forgets its mission

      Senior human resources business partner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      IFC can be an inspirational place, when the organization works towards its mission.

      Cons

      Management is constantly tied up in politics. The number of reorganizations this place has due to internal politics, never allows the the institution to actually establish itself to do work.

      Golden handcuffs if you can tolerate extreme dysfunction and inequality

      External affairs officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent pay and benefits if you achieve and maintain a staff position. Globally relevant work and diverse colleagues.

      Cons

      Archaic internal processes; extremely hierarchical leadership structure; constant political restructures that require you to adapt or die; often vague and simultaneous opposing directives from senior colleagues; many projects never completed; grossly unequal treatment of staff vs consultants (the latter of whom do the same work for half the pay and zero benefits); very limited opportunities for advancement.
