Pros

Great place to gather experience in international development finance and impact operations. The institution has many areas of collaboration where individuals can get to learn from a diverse pool of expertise such as Finance, Accounting, Risk Management, and Operations, among others.

Cons

The institution is very hierarchical and the opportunities for professional growth are limited. There is an internal push against consultants, regardless of years of experience, considering the bank's internal policies that only allows them to work for the Bank for three years.

Large Organisation with Unique Mandate for LAC

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked as a consultant and then became a staff member over the course of my 5 years at the institution. There are many intelligent and hardworking folks at this Bank who deeply believe in international devleopment and want to promote and build it within Latin America and the Caribbean. Working with them and the clients wihin LAC were the highlights of my career.

Cons

Highly competitive workplace, long hours (sometimes extending into the weekends and during vacation time). If you are not a fluent Spanish speaker, growth (and acceptance) within the institution will be difficult. Too many siloed operations and divisions. People at HQ have an advantage over those posted in the Country Offices.
