Pros

Good life-work balance. Very interesting transactions across Latinamerica, the opportunity to help others in your work. Work stability, very intercultural place, lots of people from all around the country

Cons

Burocracy, zero meritocracy, lots of office politics. Salaries are not enough to live within the DC area, since DC has become very expensive in the last couple of years but the salaries have not been updated accordingly, the salary increases are laughable.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
