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.
