Pros

The mission of the organization is on point. Extremely diverse environment. Several female leaders.

Cons

You don't get a raise or a full-time position unless you have a powerful connection. Clientelism. Extremely bureaucratic workflow which fragments end-goals.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
