Pros

IDB is a good company for young professionals that are begging their career and also for someone that wants to start an international career but be aware of the cons before make a decision.

Cons

No meritocracy at all. No career plan. Political influenced environment. No talent management or retention. Be aware that if you plan to work at IDB as consultant the HRD has defined new rules for this type of contract that may not be attractive enough for you to decide to leave your home country to work overseas.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
