Pros

Opportunity to network and interact with global leaders during WEF's meetings. Pool of talented and cosmopolitan colleagues. Possibility of international travel.

Cons

Deplorable organisational culture, with patriarch taking all decisions and micro-managing staff. As a result, senior management is constantly engaged in internal battles for power in a court-like environment. Lack of transparency in decisions; internal talent mostly underpaid.

Pros

This organization is constantly evolving but I think generally in the right direction. Great place for those who strive in unstructured environments.

Cons

Hours can be long and you have to enjoy travel.

Pros

Great exposure to ideas, good broad experience that can be applied to other jobs

Cons

Lots of infighting at the top, leaks down to lower levels. The Forum makes poor hiring decisions and teams suffer.
