Pros

The building is impressive (gym, daycare, health unit, cafeteria, auditorium, library, etc. ) Benefits and salaries are great (for employees).

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy and arrogant people. It takes like forever to get the simplest thing done. Good luck if you are able to secure a staff position, 99% of them are only for those who already have a friend or an acquaintance working there. Most of all operational processes are outdated and inefficient, but employees really don't care as long as they receive their juicy salaries.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
