      Pros

      Helping the poor around the world while making money. Working with a diverse group of people with rich ideas, an experience like nothing else, very rewarding. Great development and growth opportunities for high performers.

      Cons

      Heavy workloads, long working hours, high stress, recently have been going through massive changes as part of the World Bank Group, which has affected operations and staff morale.

      Pros

      Compensation is good (no taxes paid cause it's an internatinal public institution!) though lower than in commercial banks. On the other side, benefits (insurance, housing, etc) are higher. Work is really international as part of UN-World Bank.

      Cons

      Most decisions are taken in Washington DC (headquarters) without considering local problems. There are lots of bureaucratic work to fulful transparency issues.

      Pros

      Working with intelligent, passionate people in development. The people you meet really want to make a difference in people's lives. You will make connections that will help your career for the rest of your life.

      Cons

      The perks could be better, especially for Short Term Consultants. It is very difficult to obtain any type of upward mobility. It is difficult to get staff jobs.
