      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - You get to work in a variety of projects that aim to help people - There's always a lot of work to do, so you can engage in many projects across the organization - International setting where multiple languages are spoken - Networking opportunities with recognized specialists from Latin America - Headquarters offers in-house gym, mediation room, and health clinic - Flexible work schedules

      Cons

      - You need to be resilient and learn to swim a bureaucratic organization, but if you are patient and hard working you will get to see the results of your efforts

      Great place to learn and have impact on policy and development

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Because of the regional scope of the organization, you get to learn a lot from successes and failures of diverse government agencies in various countries. In addition, I would say it is also very easy to get involved in interesting projects from diverse sectors, provided that you are willing to spend some extra time working on them. Since the workload is not crazy, this is totally feasible. There are always interesting talks and projects going on, so it's definitely a good place for curious people.

      Cons

      If you work in headquarters (in DC), you can feel far away from those who benefit from the policies you help to shape. In addition, bureaucracy can feel a little slow at times. Projects take some time to take off - although once they do, implementation is very effective.
