Business Outlook

Pros

Fascinating work, intelligent colleagues, high salaries, and great benefits.

Cons

There isn't great job security (I was offered a buyout in a sudden downsizing prompted by a change in government of a donor country). The corporate culture is insular and prefers employees from Latin America and the Caribbean.

The IDB is a place where people who are committed and passionate about improving lives in Latin America and the Caribbean get to do what they love in a diverse, collaborative, and stimulating work environment.
