Pros

The ability to network with other experts in the field is immense. The process of working together in team was also highly enriching, professionally and intellectually.

Cons

Those who enjoy being in the field and working by directly interacting with clients and beneficiaries may find the job less appealing. In the end, it also depends on what you are working on.

The Bank is stuck in the 1990s when it comes to technology.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible and family friendly. Great location. The cafeteria is out of this world. The gym is brand new. A great place to work at if you are an economist or social scientist. Otherwise, stay clear.

Cons

If you are in IT, please do not join the bank. The pay is subpar, job security is nil. If you stay, prepare for a trip to the 1990s and lose all relevancy in the job market. You will be stuck at the World Bank, because nobody else will hire you with your irrelevant skills. An extremely political environment, very resistant to change. A lot of arrogance. Prepare to be shouted at and ostracized, if you dare to speak up.
