      Career with a Purpose

      Regional operations officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for IFC has been not only fulfilling at a career level but also a reason for me to evolve on a personal level. I like that I work in a cultural diverse place where each day I get to meet someone with a different back ground and culture and all of that for a bigger cause which is impact development. Everyone is an A star at their game and there is always something new to learn.

      Cons

      To make the best out it you need to move in between markets every 4-5 years, that can be overwhelming for some people with families yet an exciting experience for people to explore different cultures.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Opportunity to live and work in different countries around the world - there are around 100 offices and almost 60% staff outside HQ - with talented, diverse professionals from countless countries; - Challenging work in difficult environments that require balancing financial risks and rewards, as well as ensuring positive development impact. - Interact and invest together with major international investors and FIs/Insuers/Pension funds as IFC is mobilizing at least $1 for each $1 we invest. - Good work-life balance for most staff. - Competitive compensation and benefits packages, including up to 6 weeks annual vacation and 2X matching on pension fund contributions.

      Cons

      - Bureaucracy is a feature of IFC/World Bank that you have to get used to, but it is there for a reason and contributes to a deliberative decision making process. - Risk tolerance of management could be higher given the role and mission of the institution. - Limited bonus pools/variable compensation.
