Pros

Everyday work with highly qualified economists and other professionals. Always a lot to learn, very good ressources and data. Very good experience.

Maybe sometimes too research oriented. It would have been great to be able to participate directly to a country mission

Pros

Global environment. Great cross-cultural experience. Multilingual and highly educated staff. Support personnel now has a Bachelor's degree and some have Masters. Opportunity to travel doing mission work that gives a person opportunity to see the world. Many people are multilingual. I used daily 3 of the 5 languages I know. I worked in a department that had people from Africa, the Middle East and Latin America and everybody got along well. People are fer hard working and dedicated to their professions. Excellent benefits including 26 working days vacation. People with G4 visa get a home leave package that is incredible and have more flexibility in taking their leave together.

Cons

Salary structure somewhat unflexible. It is very difficult to move from a support staff role to a managerial one even though the person has the education to get the management job. Some divisions within a department are run according to the Division Chief management style and 99% of the departments are run by economists that most of the time know economics but have little HR knowledge. Mission work is grueling and intense, almost no free time to oneself and work goes on day, night and weekends. Even though vacation is great, it is difficult to take time off due to work commitment. It appeared to me that foreign staff had less problems getting a month off than US citizens working at the Fund.
