Pros

I worked for the IADB for almost 5 years. Its a good place to start your work experience. Nice people from al over the world but more from Latin America. Good salaries. Good location and some offices are nice. Good working balance. People have at least 24 days off per year. Managers dont care about how may days off are you taking

Cons

After some time maybe years there is not growing opportunities. Very bureaucratic place. Most of the employees are working them for so many years so things some times are very slow. As a consultant you dont have benefits. Benefits are only for staff people.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
