Overall a lot of wasted opportunities, particularly in the development effectiveness area - Anonymous employee Inter-American Development Bank Employee Review

Excellent benefits, culture and opportunity to make a real impact.

There is bureaucracy across the organization. Vertical career progression can be slow.

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).

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 Outdated development agency.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.
