Pros
I love the job, very interesting, working on development issues and climate change. I come from the private sector where I had a very stressful job as a consultant, working long hours, facing tensions at work. The Bank is still demanding but the hours are ok and the level of stress is closer to public sector type of jobs. Salary is ok, good health coverage, 30 days of holidays, no tax.
Cons
I guess the downsides are linked to the pros : less stress but also more bureaucratic, slow, hierarchical than private consulting firm for example. The contract is just a two year contract, not easy to make career plans.
