      Pros

      Working with intelligent, passionate people in development. The people you meet really want to make a difference in people's lives. You will make connections that will help your career for the rest of your life.

      Cons

      The perks could be better, especially for Short Term Consultants. It is very difficult to obtain any type of upward mobility. It is difficult to get staff jobs.

      Pros

      It's a great place to learn how the world works. This involves both learning about how a large international bureaucracy manages itself, as well as learning about governance in developing nations. While the Bank as made some mistakes in the past, it is really a place where you can make a positive impact on the world. NO INCOME TAXES! Foreign employees in the DC office are exempt from US income taxes, and the Bank pays state and local income taxes for domestic employees.

      Cons

      It is really hard to get a job at the World Bank. Don't take it too hard if you are rejected. Above a certain threshold, it is almost random who gets jobs and who does not. There are a lot of politics: personal, organizational, and sometimes ever geo-political. This can be stimulating if you like that sort of thing, but those who are not politically savy will struggle.
