Business Outlook

Pros

- Feeling of fulfillment from having a job that is making positive impacts in developing countries - Strong community feeling, especially if you're from Latin America and new to the city. Most likely some co-workers, within and outside your direct team, will become friends.

Cons

- Extreme bureaucracy and hierarchies, often resulting in delays and inefficiencies - Slow processes - Extreme formality in internal communications - Contractual policies discriminate consultants, which make most of the staff body, in terms of benefits and job security in the mid and long terms - Very hard to impossible to escalate between contracts - In general, not the best salaries
