Pros

IFC offers a very diverse and challenging work environment with unique opportunities to work across sectors and within broad range of investments. Workforce is extremely international and regional offices provide a great platform for career growth

Cons

Quite a political organization where promotions and recognition are as likely to be based on allegiances as actual performance. Senior staffing shifts and reorganization associated with World Bank Group have created some unnecessary turmoil and loss of business direction.
