Pros

Lots of international travel (in style), the feeling that you are doing something good for humankind. Good salaries, adequate benefits, diverse staff.

Cons

Tendency toward compartmentalization, innovation is not encouraged and talent management is very poor. Lots of navigation through the bureaucracy is required. American citizens are disadvantaged because the Bank needs to pay gross salary to US staff (citizens of other countries are exempt from tax).
