Not the best place to build a career

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance, some staff are dedicated to the mission which makes for a brilliant work environment sans politics

Cons

Very convulated political atmosphere that favors sucking up to managers rather than staff performance, poor managerial skills in many units and no real commitment to improve the situation. The bank would rather protect bad managers and lose good staff members. Poor HR department, often bureaucratic and out of touch with staff needs and how to address them rather choosing to operate like a call center! Ineffective internal conflict resolution system as the Bank hides behind its immunity to local laws.

Good work experience, but not for younger people

Business Outlook

Pros

Good working environment, lots of great mentors, networking opportunities and events, good/cheap cafeteria food (because it's subsidized), great working/learning experience in diverse workplace

Cons

Terrible about paying short-term contractors on time (went 3-4 weeks without getting paid, too frequently), taxes not automatically deducted from each pay check and you have to pay taxes out of your own pocket later, not much mobility in terms of opportunities to move up-- this is definitely a place you would come back to later after acquiring more professional experiences, not a place to root as a budding young professional unless you want to do administrative work for the rest of your career.
