Pros

-Wonderful place to work with diverse colleagues all over the world -Terrific opportunities for training and development (online, face-to face) -WBG has been trying to improve career development process, transparency and accountability for lower grades (GA-GD)

Cons

-You have to been firm with your colleagues and supervisor (and yourself) in order to have a work-life balance that is somewhat healthy. It is expected that you work until the job is done (I usually don't qualify for overtime due to my title but STILL have to finish my work). COVID has made this worse

Pros

*Working with talented diverse colleagues *Flexible work schedule, the WBG was among the first employers ready to roll out work from home for all employees across all levels *Upper management (WBG wide) and local supervisors are very clear about COVID impacts and changes; working with staff that have risks or different issues *Reimbursement on spent $ on technology to work from home (although it took a while for my dept. to get on board)

Cons

*Very difficult to move laterally or up in the organization, no matter what degree or experience you have gained *Management has a very limited mindset on employee's abilities (for example people of a certain title are only able to do a certain task) *The "limited mindset" is something seen across the institution and co-workers which lowers moral for A-C employees
