Pros

Diverse and international work environment: different cultural aspects and languages that can enrich your daily work. The pro of working for international development in a very diverse continent with many facets and different political and economic environments.

Cons

As every international organization there is huge bureaucracy and slow processes involved in every project and activity. Patience and personal relationship will help you best manage these circumstances. It is not the private sector.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
