Pros

-Great for networking -Competitive salary -Good as a stepping stone to a job in another multilateral organization, or to later apply to a PhD

Cons

-As a full time consultant, due to internal regulations, you can’t work for more than 3 years for the organization. To continue working there after those 3 years, and to make a career inside the organization, you have to so get a staff position -Only staff positions get benefits besides the salary -In most Divisions of the organization, it’s almost impossible to get a staff position without a PhD

Pros

- Good working experiences for LATAM people. - Very talented people from different countries. - Learning opportunities from different projects and resources. - Compensation to my needs is Ok.

Cons

- Some workers extremely overloaded. - Feeling or sense of fake urgency focused on anxiety instead of burocracy removal. - Sending emails or messages after hours and even overnight is NORMALIZED. Because is a sign that you are working more. - Leaving work on time is negatively seen. - There is a need to appear that you are working more than others so staying late, or getting home to work is the rule. - Human resources is not addressing this cultural problems but is silently impacting employees. - Competitive environment that sometimes could be toxic.
