      Pros

      Used to be positioned to make the difference on the African continent. Had potential to do it through innovative thinking and meritocratic appointment particularly at senior management level

      Cons

      Dysfunctional organization, Appointment not based on merit but connection,

      Good development finance Institution in Africa, headed in a not-so-good direction

      Pros

      As the Bank likes to tout itself, it is the "premier development finance institution in Africa." This means it really has nowhere near the resources of the World Bank, but it is genuinely an African institution making a difference for many African countries. Excellent place to network and learn about the continent, high-level opportunities, and genuinely amazing benefits.

      Cons

      The current President of the Bank is a disaster. I mean, a total, unmitigated disaster of a leader. He's presiding over a painful and complex reorganization that he initiated with no clear goals or end in sight while the institution bleeds talented staff.
