Business Outlook
Pros
I would recommend FINCA for those seeking experience in microfinance and working in the international development field. (Depending on which department joining) Could also be a good start for interesting careers in non- or for-profit aspects of international development/social investing/finance.
Cons
The inevitable challenge of pairing NGO and banking is a philosophical challenge which affects operations and careers of those considering employment. Non-profit "weight" is carried through and might not be the best fit for those interested in moving to mainstream international investing or finance. On the other hand, a combination of the two would provide a solid entry into the non-profit world, international aid/development field.
