Pros

to get a better understanding of the global economic trends and how the Fund functions in boosting the macroeconomic development of its member countries; to improve the research skills through conducting analysis using different statistical and econometric software on various countries and topics and through taking trainings; to build connections with people from diversified background and cultures

Cons

Contractual RAs can only work for the Fund for 4 years at most and the transition from RA to economist is quite tough.

Pros

I've been working here for about two years now. They're good people, trying to do good work.

Cons

Very low maturity in product, tech, and UX. Extremely hierarchical, to the point where it's obstructive -- but hey, that's what you get with places like these.
