Pros

You gain a solid working method and learn from the inside how a multilateral institution operates. Because it is such a large organization with a wide variety of professional backgrounds, you are exposed to different perspectives and approaches to addressing issues

Cons

The work environment is not always the best. It is a highly competitive place, which in itself would not be negative, but it is common to encounter colleagues who take this competitiveness to a toxic level. Additionally, the transition from consultant to staff is a complicated process.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
