Pros
Within Latin America, there is no doubt the IADB carries a big brand & weight, as well as a strong name recognition. To this day, it's one of the highlights of my CV (just the name, not the work itself). If your line of work is development, aside the World Bank and few other places, it's a highly priced place to work.
Cons
Little incentive to grow; 99.9% of the times you are a 'consultant' which just means you are a full-time employee with no benefits. I have seen hundreds of well-qualified individuals who begin with a high degree of motivation but sure enough, after a year or two trying to become staff, they lose all kinds of motivation (IADB is great at that--not motivating people).
