Pros

- The organization´s purpose is, in general, admirable and encouraging. - Opportunity to interact with people from various disciplines and backgrounds.

Cons

- Toxic work culture of gossip favoured (the DG openly encourages "positive gossip!") - Lack of accountability from managers and senior managers. Racism, ageism, bullying and harrassment prevalent at all levels, enticed by upper management. Mexicans are discriminated and poorly spoken about in their own country by international staff in upper management positions. - Nepotism is present across the organization. Spouses are designated in decision-making positions without proper credentials. - Gross misconduct and gross ineptitude from managers in key departments, mainly in human resources and finance mean that incorrect, negligent practices are covered and unattended.
