Pros

IADB has great amenities for employees, gyms, a great cafeteria, a bunch of clubs and tons of events. Also, the Bank has a great mission and does great work in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Cons

It is extremely bureaucratic, and it's easy to get disconnected to the actual work in the region. Also, consultants/contractors are treated poorly, and with a lack of respect. As a staff member, you have great benefits, vs as a consultant you have none.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great institution for development finance in Latin America.

Cons

Very bureaucratic with a lot of internal politics and their contractual jobs, called "consultants" have cool-off periods of 3-6 months between contracts so you do not accumulate years for retirement. This positions prevent brilliant people to advance their careers and often opt to go back to their countries or private sector.
