Pros

The place to be if you are a hard-core economist interested in trying to do some good for countries in bad shape rather than make big bucks in banks (you will still earn a comfortable living!).

Cons

Despite ongoing efforts, still bureaucratic, lack of prospects, and not the place to go for work-life balance.

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.
