Pros

Global emerging markets experience, most broadly capable development finance institution, excellent & often brilliant colleagues, diverse workforce.

Cons

More than 5 years of constant reorganization and strategy shifts are exhausting. Fundamental role of IFC is in question, shorter list now of countries in which to operate, deals harder to source. Stifling bureaucracy for deal approval. Rhetoric for innovation not backed up by management support. Rapid reduction in senior staff and advisory function is unwise.
