The richest and most fulfilling experience for multitasking and self-starters that seek to work in operations.

Country manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

On the operations side, great opportunity to make an impact on development and unique brand for dialogue with countries. Very challenging and intellectually stimulating environment for people working in the countries and extremely rewarding for country managers. But you must be willing and able to navigate the maze of the world bank group knowledge.

Cons

Risk adverse environment with too many layers for decision making. Upward mobility, and benefit package.

Great collegial environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced work environment which is challenging but exhilarating at the same time. I would recommend it as an employer to anyone with an interest in international development.

Cons

Diverse pool of staff means you need to be very culturally aware in your dealings with people. For example many Muslim women will not shake hands with males who are not related to them and you have to respect that or cause great offense.
