Pros

Great environment, employees from all 48 IDB member countries, but mostly from 26 benefited countries in Latin America

Cons

Very political when expecting career development, only friends of hiring managers get real opportunities. Staff members delegate their responsibilities to consultants and in the end, the work is mostly done by them

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 Outdated development agency.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.
