Inter-American Development Bank reviews

Not much to add since many reviews have covered all bases. If you are hired as a consultant run fast and far from here. The young motivated and well educated have a lot to lose here. After years they will hire only those politically connected. Chances are that you are not political if started as consultant. Moving to staff is almost impossible, like winning the lottery. This place has all the same problems that undermine the institutions of the very same countries they pretend to help. Highly hypocritical. Very wasteful, they spend millions in projects and unnecessary missions. No transparency and accountability with their funds. Permanent workers (staff) do not have incentive to work hard as they have security for life. Staff keep hiring consultants to dump all their work they don't want to do. About consultants, as soon as they realize that they will never be promoted to staff, after 1 year or less they are completely demoralized. Slow pace of work, lack of career progress, few chances to show your innovative drive are factors to consider before you move here. Hard to be hired after working as a consultant here.
