Pros

There's no other organization quite like IFC and the World Bank Group as a whole. It really is the best place to get into international development. As a result, you're surrounded by people with an amazing amount of varied experiences, so you're coming at things from different angles, not to mention constantly learning from colleagues.

Cons

--STT/STC contracts are often in place of full-time contracts, so you're expected to do the work of a full-time employee but only for 150 days each fiscal year. There aren't any benefits either. --there's definitely a divide between staff and contracted employees --extremely bureaucratic --once people get a staff position, they rarely leave. As a result, there are times when it can get stuffy and stagnant --not many young people, and there aren't many opportunities for career advancement for young people unless you already have a masters degree or equivalent years of experience

Pros

Very enjoyable to work with such a global community and diverse staff. Daily work usually has great significance and importance, has an impact.

Cons

Divisive issues in the office would cause a caustic environment. Management would not be forward with information and would be quick to change terms of fellow colleague's contracts (STC) by offering one rate, and then changing it (lowering it) afterwards.
