Pros

Salaries and benefits are good.

Cons

It's a chauvinistic and nepotistic environment, which results in low morale and motivation. Plenty of staff are there because of the salaries and benefits, not due to a passion for development.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’d love to learn more about your experience and how we can improve.

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 Outdated development agency.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.
