Pros

This is a non-profit bank where you work on projects that actually make a difference instead of destroying the world like in private banks, i.e. financing renewable energy projects, schools, hospitals, protecting biodiversity, fighting climate change and poverty etc... There is a good work/life balance and compensation is correct

Cons

It is a very latino culture and if you are not from a latino country, you feel like an outsider Very high bureaucracy Some senior management and HR are out of touch with personnel

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 Outdated development agency.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.
