      A place to make a difference

      Senior communications officer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to wake up every day knowing that you are working for an organization that is trying to make a positive difference in the lives of the world's most poor and vulnerable. Compensation and benefits are generous.

      Cons

      It's not always fun given the bureaucracy of a large multinational organization, but it is worth it given the mission.

      Excellent colleagues, role of IFC in the world is in question

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Global emerging markets experience, most broadly capable development finance institution, excellent & often brilliant colleagues, diverse workforce.

      Cons

      More than 5 years of constant reorganization and strategy shifts are exhausting. Fundamental role of IFC is in question, shorter list now of countries in which to operate, deals harder to source. Stifling bureaucracy for deal approval. Rhetoric for innovation not backed up by management support. Rapid reduction in senior staff and advisory function is unwise.

      Sr. Operations Officer

      Senior operations officer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Professional working environment with exceptional employees. The World Bank is a large organization operating in almost all sectors of development and with international hires from across the globe. The benefits are generous and the work for clients very rewarding.

      Cons

      Given its size there are definite drawbacks in terms of bureaucratic red tape throughout the organization. Career development is somewhat lacking and requires the individual to chart their own path, which at times can be frustrating. Often times professional development and promotions are due to connections and functions of time spent in positions rather than based on merit.
