Pros

Great benefits and compensation for employees high up the corporate ladder.

Cons

The Bank does not want to appear too "progressive, recognizing real world issues" - A quote from my boss. Yes It is true that political issues, concerns are at the foreground of all work. Anyone thinking that he/she will make a difference in the world while working at the World Bank has a lot to learn about bureaucracy.
