World Bank Group reviews

- Hit or miss with regard to leadership and team management - No signs of meritocracy-->disilusionment-->negativity. - Too many staff that have been there for 20+ years who have no incentive to progress or change bad habits. Makes for some negative interactions. - A lot of insular, national/regional alliances that seem to carry weight in some hiring processes. - Top-heavy management, burned out middle management (if you can even call it that) and mid-level staff, over-eager junior staff (usually wears off after year 1, before the jading process begins) - Limited HR resources for career mobility and related interests for all staff and consultants. Or rather, for staff, not for consultants (what kind of message does that send, if not one of exclusion?)

Low salary for junior staff, and inability to remain in the organization after the 2 year contract has finished. The program was first designed for undergrads, but most JPAs that were there at the same time as me had master's degrees. The requirement to leave for two years no longer makes as much sense as it once did.
