Pros

Good live-work balance, overall it is meaningful working to improve lives in the LAC region.

Cons

It is a somewhat cruel work environment where staff workers usually get credit for what consultants have done. They expect consultants to work as hard if not harder than the rest, but without the perks of the staff workers.

Pros

- Good working experiences for LATAM people. - Very talented people from different countries. - Learning opportunities from different projects and resources. - Compensation to my needs is Ok.

Cons

- Some workers extremely overloaded. - Feeling or sense of fake urgency focused on anxiety instead of burocracy removal. - Sending emails or messages after hours and even overnight is NORMALIZED. Because is a sign that you are working more. - Leaving work on time is negatively seen. - There is a need to appear that you are working more than others so staying late, or getting home to work is the rule. - Human resources is not addressing this cultural problems but is silently impacting employees. - Competitive environment that sometimes could be toxic.
