Pros

Good balance between responsibilities as long as you work for a specific program (I believe this is different when your duties are spread across different projects). High demanding and high quality. Overly bureaucratic (as per USG requirements). High space for growth.

Cons

Suffers from all US NGOs problem that people from Latin America (field staff) will find it hard to gain promotions to HQ positions.
