Pros
- Smart, experienced and well-educated people; - International setting with many interesting projects; - Job security - it is difficult to get fired if you have a permanent contact;
Cons
- Obsolete mission and purpose. The Bank was created in the 1990s to support the transition from centrally planned to market-based economies in post-communist country. This is no longer a relevant mission for many of the countries, in which the Bank operates. EBRD should reform itself to stay relevant! - Senior management does not have a clear vision about the Bank's future. President is more skilled politics than running a business enterprise; - Huge bureaucracy, which causes slow decision-making and makes the institution inefficient; - Many important decisions are influence by internal politics, which makes the overall decision-making non-transparent; - Centralised decision-making. Resident office has no freedom to make independent decision; - Salaries are average, not great. Salary increases are meagre even when you get promoted.

It seems the bank is being used by its current President as an instrument for self-promotion to a disastrous effect for the bank's operations, internal environment and employee morale.

Pros
Good work life balance, working on interesting projects which have an impact on developing countries and communities, working with smart people from many countries and backgrounds, good benefits (gym, canteen, health insurance...), ethical place to work.
Cons
Senior management has been at the bank for decades and seem clueless as to how to run a bank. Good performance is not rewarded which is good for some people, not for others.
