The stress that's in the LATAM area is unbereable. The same pattern is repeated constantly and it's the following: Commercials sell a project with a very few consultancy hours, then this project is sent to the consultancy area in which the project manager has to work wonders to make a consultant do whatever the costumer wants in a very narrow period of time. So finally, the struggle is to make the workload of aprox 60h in 40h, and you can understand it one, two, or three weeks, but when it's becoming a year like that, you get very fed up. What's more, the HR department is a mess. They can't expect to manage all the human aspects of an enterprise of this amount of people by only 2 employees. As I said before, the employees (not only in consultancy) are very stressed but they continue without investing in ways to reduce it. Otherwise, a lot of people has came into consultancy area with the promise of moving to another department after a several months so you can understand how the enterprise works, but this moving never gets. Another aspect of the little worrying about what does the employee need. Finally, if you expect that the experience in consultancy will work for another enterprises, forget about it because they use proprietary software. The only skills you'll develop by staying here is to work faster, more organized and more efficient.

Your Salary will be raised around 1% each year but forget to ask for a better salary, or changing position. They force you to take vacations by at least 5 days in a row. They check your entrance and when you leave. You can leave after the established hours but forget to leave just some minute before (In that case you must ask for a day of vacations)
