Pros

Helping the poor around the world while making money. Working with a diverse group of people with rich ideas, an experience like nothing else, very rewarding. Great development and growth opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Heavy workloads, long working hours, high stress, recently have been going through massive changes as part of the World Bank Group, which has affected operations and staff morale.

Pros

Compensation is good (no taxes paid cause it's an internatinal public institution!) though lower than in commercial banks. On the other side, benefits (insurance, housing, etc) are higher. Work is really international as part of UN-World Bank.

Cons

Most decisions are taken in Washington DC (headquarters) without considering local problems. There are lots of bureaucratic work to fulful transparency issues.
