Pros

The World Bank is multi-cultural, lots of extremely smart and motivated people all in the location. Despite recent reforms, the benefits are still good - vacation, pension, parental leave, etc.

Cons

The work environment has become toxic in the last 2 years, reforms and fear of losing one's job have destabilized the organization and have demotivated otherwise excellent and committed staff.
