Business outlook
Pros
The World Bank still has some brand name across some circles, it's still one of the big international organizations so it has the diversity and cache that you would expect. The place is nice, and among many, there are a few staff that shine.
Cons
It's a huge bureaucracy, morale is terrible, the work is more irrelevant every day. The mission "a world free of poverty" is only a slogan. Ninety nine percent of the staff contribute to the well-known continuation of this mission statement: "... one staff member at a time". The quality of the staff has dramatically come down in the last 10 years.
