Consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You gain a solid working method and learn from the inside how a multilateral institution operates. Because it is such a large organization with a wide variety of professional backgrounds, you are exposed to different perspectives and approaches to addressing issues

Cons

The work environment is not always the best. It is a highly competitive place, which in itself would not be negative, but it is common to encounter colleagues who take this competitiveness to a toxic level. Additionally, the transition from consultant to staff is a complicated process.
