Pros

- Excellent opportunity to move to the U.S. if you are coming from somewhere else - Migration screening is not extensive - Truly amazing people working here, unfortunately, is not the rule

Cons

- Highly politicized environment - Bad work environment - Does not run background investigation on academic degrees and previous work, so several people lie about their qualifications to get hired - Development of the countries they serve is not the main focus of the Bank, and service is not the main focus of projects rather than political decisions and personal interest - Consultants the ones who do 90% of the work have no benefits so ever, not even health insurance. Huge difference in salary compared with staff. - If you are an American you have to pay taxes - Research practices are questionable. Staff hires internal consultants to do the work, and internal consultants employ external consultants to do the job. Staff and internal consultants stamp their name and receive credit for the publications, but they don't write the papers and give no credit to external consultants. Ghost author for most of their writings - People would like to stay at the office for more than 10 hours per day, not sure they are productive. They will judge you if you leave the office on time. - Do not respect peoples private life or their own time.
