Business Outlook

Pros

Many smart & dedicated people; excellent benefits and salary; truly multi-cultural workplace. Depending on where you are in the organization, many opportunities for professional development.

Cons

Doesn't walk the walk on work-life balance. Truly a place built on relationships, rather than competence. Deep suspicion of externally recruited staff--especially mid-career. (If you didn't do it at the WBG, you haven't done it.) Very little room for growth; desperately low turn-over of staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

-- The work is very interesting-- no where else would I get to work on issues on education or health at such a macro level -- My colleagues and managers are extremely bright, personable people-- it's a fun place to work, and easy to meet new people if you are new in town. -- Good pay for development work

Cons

-- Limited opportunities for career progression (not merit based, rather duration based) -- There can be a lot of travelling (some people travel as much as 30% of the year)
