Business Outlook

Pros

Access to the UN system. Exposure to global economic issues. Working with a multi-cultural staff, in a family-friendly city. The benefits package is superb. The salaries are also pretty good, and there are plenty of opportunities to work with World Bank staff if you are proactive enough to make that happen.

Cons

Association with the US political-industrial complex. The stigma of working for the IMF will put off some employers after you finish working there. The stultifying, passive-aggressive, risk-averse corporate culture. There are promotion bottlenecks at every grade, and you'd better be prepared to conform with how people do things.
