      Pros

      Lots of learning opportunities including brown bag lunch on a regular basis and conferences etc. A lot of collaboration and teamwork.

      Cons

      You need +5 years experience to actually get some significant work done. most of employees i met are in their mid level career. If you are in your early career, you'd better spend a few years at IDB and use it as a stepping stone for next step, don't expect to jump to a staff position (only way to do that is through YPP).

      Pros

      - Good working experiences for LATAM people. - Very talented people from different countries. - Learning opportunities from different projects and resources. - Compensation to my needs is Ok.

      Cons

      - Some workers extremely overloaded. - Feeling or sense of fake urgency focused on anxiety instead of burocracy removal. - Sending emails or messages after hours and even overnight is NORMALIZED. Because is a sign that you are working more. - Leaving work on time is negatively seen. - There is a need to appear that you are working more than others so staying late, or getting home to work is the rule. - Human resources is not addressing this cultural problems but is silently impacting employees. - Competitive environment that sometimes could be toxic.
