Pros

Good pay and work-life balance (except for when traveling), friendly Latin American environment, ability to work on large high-impact projects.

Cons

Career opportunities depend entirely upon division manager. Some have great managers and others have, not so great managers. As a large bureacracy, the incentives are not always aligned for team performance, focus on the individual. Not well aligned for mobility between divisions.

Pros

You get to work with elitist Spanish speaking Latin Americans who are xenophobic for people that speak other languages, who have processes, paper pushing and career progression as major objective, not real development outcomes (eradicate extreme poverty & improve quality of life in LAC).

Cons

Bureaucracy. Outdated development agency. Abusive to and misclassifying contractors. People who don’t know what they are doing or talking about. Delivers trash projects and pulls impoverished countries further into national debt. Technocratic and too much focus on metrics, not impoverished people’s lived experience.
