Pros

Good reputed organisation, good opportunity to start off your professional life. Work and personnel life balance is really good.

Cons

HR is not at all reliable. Before taking any decision for someone or before providing any guidance to a staff member, they analyse their own chemistry between the concerned person / senior etc etc. At times they play very bias and unfair game . There is no control over them. Recruitment / promotion process is extremely dead slow.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very high level of prefessionalism across the teams, particularly in infrastructure. IFC is the most knowledgeable player on the African Infrastructure market, so one stays at the head of the curve in terms of complexity of the projects, variety of the solutions - ie. incredible project finance and credit learning. Very international team. Healthy work-family balance.

Cons

Political organisation. One needs to have good EQ and be "on the radar" of the right people. Little ownership over projects.
