Great colleagues, but burdensome bureaucratic processes get in the way of a fulfilling, productive career.

Short-term consultant (stc)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with bright colleagues from diverse backgrounds to help countries reduce poverty and achieve greater prosperity.

Cons

Exceedingly bureaucratic, navigating Bank politics, both within one's unit and in other units, has a profound impact on one's career advancement. Further, as a consultant, there is no job security and wages for U.S. nationals, after taxes, are lower as compared to net rates for non-U.S. nationals (despite the assertions by the Bank to the contrary).
