Pros

Benefits are really advantageous such as holidays, allowances and per diems. It is a great environment where to learn by yourself and contribute to fill-in all the gaps while becoming a master of the problem solving.

Cons

Money-oriented hierarchical organisation where senior management is not prepared and interested on social and environmental aspects and ignoring real needs. Staff rules on sensitive topics are missing, showing gender and grade unbalances. No career opportunities and lower grade staffs have to get ready for multitasking, overtime and cover responsibilities for which they will be never paid back. Harassment is a hot topic with no capacity of prevention and professional approaches in place yet.

Pros

In all, an excellent, laid back international environment to work in.

Cons

- An underlying sense of entitlement from a lot of employees - Ambiguous promotion policy but senior management is unwilling to clarify - No room for career progression - Little to no overlap in a lot of positions even though everyone’s departure date is known on the first day
