Business Outlook

Pros

Professional working environment with exceptional employees. The World Bank is a large organization operating in almost all sectors of development and with international hires from across the globe. The benefits are generous and the work for clients very rewarding.

Cons

Given its size there are definite drawbacks in terms of bureaucratic red tape throughout the organization. Career development is somewhat lacking and requires the individual to chart their own path, which at times can be frustrating. Often times professional development and promotions are due to connections and functions of time spent in positions rather than based on merit.

Too much politics, emphasis only on diversity not on skills, compensation not linked to performance, because on the one pay scales across grades, either people are paid too much or too little
