Dubious ethics - Senior Technical Specialist Inter-American Development Bank Employee Review

Pros

PTO - 24 vacation days + 8 personal, even for new hires. Health insurance - No copay, no deductible. Pension plan - 10% contribution. Mission of the organization. Inspiring CEO.

Cons

The manipulation of employees by managers and the nepotism is rampant. Contractors are treated as second class citizens. No pay for extra hours (which are the norm). Long hours of work. Mediocre staff across corporate business units (Finance, IT, and others) who survive thanks to connections or obedience.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
