The Bank is stuck in the 1990s when it comes to technology.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible and family friendly. Great location. The cafeteria is out of this world. The gym is brand new. A great place to work at if you are an economist or social scientist. Otherwise, stay clear.

Cons

If you are in IT, please do not join the bank. The pay is subpar, job security is nil. If you stay, prepare for a trip to the 1990s and lose all relevancy in the job market. You will be stuck at the World Bank, because nobody else will hire you with your irrelevant skills. An extremely political environment, very resistant to change. A lot of arrogance. Prepare to be shouted at and ostracized, if you dare to speak up.
