Pros

Good work-life balance, multi-cultural environment, fun, mentally stimulating, and the impact ( take home) you have on people's lives is invaluable.

Cons

Not a whole lot of job stability with short term contracts and mandatory ''ruptures/breaks' of contracts to avoid having ''long term workers'' and paying them the benefits they deserve

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 Outdated development agency.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.
