Outstanding Regional Organization
Pros
IDB has invested in recruiting young, talented and highly motivated staff. it has been successful in promoting an inclusive and dynamic working culture where experienced development professional work hand in hand to solve some of the most challenging development challenges facing Latin America and the Caribbean. The benefits package are still very strong, especially when compared with some of its sister organizations such as the World Bank, which no longer offer attractive pension, health and education allowance options for example. The IDB has a AAA rating and the perfect size to stay competitive. IDB seems to enjoy its trajectory of growth, playing a central role in the economic development of the second fastest growing region of the world.
Cons
Spanish is a must, if you are not fluent, you need to catch up quickly to be able to navigate the institutional properly. IT is not yet up to the task of a leading international bank.
