Good if you dont stay too long - Principal EBRD Employee Review

- Work life balance can be pretty poor in operational teams, some teams are chaotic/toxic due to endless restructuring - Very little meritocracy and slow career progression, demotivating HR policy that promotes hiring of external candidates of mediocre quality vs decent internal ones and offers higher salaries to new joiners vs well performing long standing staff at the same level so may be safe to look for exit options after 3-5 years if you don't have solid promotion prospects. - poor senior management and governance leads to toxic internal territorial infighting - proliferation of poorly designed and often useless processes managed by staff with no real economy or sectoral expertise that make the bank look amateurish with clients - salary and benefits not enough for a family in London unless you have family wealth or another high earning partner - be careful about promises on immigration exemption status for your partner and family members as HR make promises beyond what the can achieve, get advice/support from immigration lawyers. - hypocrisy in the difference of treatment between Palestine and Ukraine - inclusion policy focusing on gender and LGBT that hides the lack of social diversity with big proportion of staff coming from well-off and well.connected families, especially in local offices. - opacity on salaries
