World Bank is wonderful, awful place

Business Outlook

Pros

Many smart & dedicated people; excellent benefits and salary; truly multi-cultural workplace. Depending on where you are in the organization, many opportunities for professional development.

Cons

Doesn't walk the walk on work-life balance. Truly a place built on relationships, rather than competence. Deep suspicion of externally recruited staff--especially mid-career. (If you didn't do it at the WBG, you haven't done it.) Very little room for growth; desperately low turn-over of staff.
