      Pros

      Noble mission, excellent assignments, great work-travel opportunities, smart people, lots of knowledge sharing events, work-life balance, ability to connect with professionals all over the world

      Cons

      Highly bureaucratic, not geared towards innovation, poor compensation for experienced young people, lack of career path for young people (except YPs maybe), high dependence on STCs and ETCs without treating them fairly

      Pros

      noble mission, challenging and interesting work (help countries develop faster and move out of poverty), international environment (great multi cultureal experience), travel to interesting places, good work-life balance

      Cons

      There is too much bureaucracy compared to the private sector, and career growth is quite slow especially once you get to mid-level positions.

      Great colleagues, but burdensome bureaucratic processes get in the way of a fulfilling, productive career.

      Pros

      Working with bright colleagues from diverse backgrounds to help countries reduce poverty and achieve greater prosperity.

      Cons

      Exceedingly bureaucratic, navigating Bank politics, both within one's unit and in other units, has a profound impact on one's career advancement. Further, as a consultant, there is no job security and wages for U.S. nationals, after taxes, are lower as compared to net rates for non-U.S. nationals (despite the assertions by the Bank to the contrary).
