World Bank Group review

Pros

The organisation gives you tremendous opportunities to grow and is loyal to reviewing employee conditions and levels of satisfaction, consistently. They allow for a good pay but one has to ensure that the work one is of international standards and know how to add value to their services in the Bank's mission.

Cons

Lateral movements are difficult. Promotions are hard to come by unless one is well connected within the network of the Bank. In other words, if you don't spread the word about your work, no one will know how important your contribution is, to the project you are working on.

Not the best place to build a career

Pros

Work-life balance, some staff are dedicated to the mission which makes for a brilliant work environment sans politics

Cons

Very convulated political atmosphere that favors sucking up to managers rather than staff performance, poor managerial skills in many units and no real commitment to improve the situation. The bank would rather protect bad managers and lose good staff members. Poor HR department, often bureaucratic and out of touch with staff needs and how to address them rather choosing to operate like a call center! Ineffective internal conflict resolution system as the Bank hides behind its immunity to local laws.
