Pros

Lots of learning opportunities including brown bag lunch on a regular basis and conferences etc. A lot of collaboration and teamwork.

Cons

You need +5 years experience to actually get some significant work done. most of employees i met are in their mid level career. If you are in your early career, you'd better spend a few years at IDB and use it as a stepping stone for next step, don't expect to jump to a staff position (only way to do that is through YPP).
