Pros

Challenging and motivating work (usually), good pay and benefits, feels like a family

Cons

Politics and bureaucracy can be oppressive, top leadership very self-serving, if your supervisor doesn't have your back you will be squashed, unequal treatment for employees, not favorable to women, can be a dysfunctional family

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 Outdated development agency.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.
