Business Outlook

Pros

IFC offers a very diverse and challenging work environment with unique opportunities to work across sectors and within broad range of investments. Workforce is extremely international and regional offices provide a great platform for career growth

Cons

Quite a political organization where promotions and recognition are as likely to be based on allegiances as actual performance. Senior staffing shifts and reorganization associated with World Bank Group have created some unnecessary turmoil and loss of business direction.

Business Outlook

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.

Pros

Good experience to place on resume

Cons

Expected to work very long hours, permanent staff rely on consultants and temps to do their work and then will take credit for it, a lot of very unprofessional and arrogant staff at all levels, hard to trust your colleagues, fearful and passive/aggressive work environment
