Pros

Interesting work Good exposure to Latin America and Caribbean Good work-life balance

Cons

No clear career path Difficult place to advance professionally, as people never leave and the organization is extremely bureaucratic Often disorganized, lack of professional management IDB increasingly depends on consultants who do not have proper benefits, but often perform the same work as staff on consulting contracts for years.

Business Outlook

Pros

What I love about the IDB is that the work is intellectually interesting and I really feel that I am making a difference in the region. Its an exciting place to work, with people from all over the world.

Cons

The biggest downside is the bureaucracy, which is draining and often takes away time from meaningful work. Other issues include upper management that does not communicate well and paralyzing disfunctionalities associated with a matrix system. Also decisions regarding how people are organized are often made on a political rather than technical basis, which undermine the ability of staff to be effective.
