Pros

Like other multilaterals, the IDB has a certain prestige. Especially in Latin America and the Caribbean where it is widely recognized as a strong organization. - Access to travel - As a permanent hire, great benefits - Very fulfilling work - great work-life balance (9-5 is the most you'll work)

Cons

- incredibly slow pace of work - this is not the job for a go-getter or someone who pushes themselves, and other companies are aware of this. - very bureaucratic - need a masters to advance (more so than previous experience) - young hires (under 26 yrs) will be secretaries almost without fault, regardless of what your job description says
