Pros

Committed and professional specialist staff with deep expertise. Good work ethic, especially around lending operaitons. High-level access to client country representatives and (depending on the country) genuine potential for impact.

Cons

As with any large organisation the bureaucracy can get in the way. The HQ location also puts the organisation far away from most of its clients, with associated timezone and travel issues. In terms of policy, the institution is highly political and consensus-based (being a member-based organisation) and is therefore unlikely to be at the cutting edge of current thinking.
