Pros

IADB has great amenities for employees, gyms, a great cafeteria, a bunch of clubs and tons of events. Also, the Bank has a great mission and does great work in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Cons

It is extremely bureaucratic, and it's easy to get disconnected to the actual work in the region. Also, consultants/contractors are treated poorly, and with a lack of respect. As a staff member, you have great benefits, vs as a consultant you have none.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
