Pros

Only pro I can say is the people are nice and you get good healthcare benefits.

Cons

- Everyone is overworked and stressed. Some are just better at hiding it than others. In general I would say most people would leave if they had other opportunities but many are tied to this place because of their visa and The World Bank exploits this - Poor work-life balance. You'll find yourself working after hours frequently or putting in a full 8 hour work day with no breaks - The President is out of touch with reality. They are against working at home. - Salaries are low and if you choose to stay here you won't see much of an increase in pay There are other reasons but basically save yourself a life of pain and go somewhere else.
