Pros

- International exposure (Latin America) and very diverse nationalities to work with - Good work life balance - In general nice working environment - You will improve your languages skills (English, Spanish, Portuguese and French) - Competitive salaries (but no opportunity to grow or have benefits if you are a consultant)

Cons

- If you are a consultant: very hard to land on a staff position, so there is no benefit. - Very hard hard to move to another position without networking - It is more about who you know than who you are - Instability due to the short duration of contracts

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 Outdated development agency.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.
