World Bank Group reviews

Management is not strategic or transparent about hiring/continuing contracts; contract extensions are done by days (20 or 60 at a time); as consultant there is no job security; no benefits or support from the central administration; no work space or resources; as an STC max amount of days in a fiscal year are 150; ETCs cannot be renewed past 2 years; JPAs have to leave the back for 2 years after 2 years of work. The WB is a big system, project design can take from 6 months to a year, and can slow down implementation with bureaucratic processes. Depending on your Project Manager, work might be interesting or not.

bureaucratic and lack of incentive for innovative behavior
