Pros

Is really interesting to be involved in International Development projects, financed by World Bank, IADB, ADB, USAID, among others. Learning from several field of knowledge such as Customs and trade, PPP, Aviation industry. Interacting with colleagues, consultants, partners and clients from all over the world.

Cons

Junior employees are expected to perform as seniors, with little or none training and minimum resources. Senior Management doesn't give proper support, leadership or coaching and employees must find their own way. The company is not willing to invest in employee professional development. Is very usual to work extra time (nights and weekends) with no remuneration for those extra hours. There is no policy or culture for work/life balance or employee's wellbeing at all.

Pros

Great exposure to international development at a small business that provides the opportunity to embark on you career at entry-level while completing substantial activities. They will quickly immerse you in activities integral to the success of proposals across multiple sectors, practice areas, and donor agencies, including assisting in technical approach development, team-building through expert consultant engagement, and participating in prestigious conferences and events.

Cons

Must be a motivated employee willing to work long hours (sometimes weekends) and immerse yourself in material outside of your university background as they will seek to involve you in proposals for projects in a diverse range of sectors (agriculture, aviation, trade and investment, private sector development, ports & maritime, public sector governance, etc.).
