Pros

Nice location, nice people, comfortable life in general. Nice place to stay for less than three years.

Cons

At the beginning I though my job would have a lot of impact. Afterwards you realize that bureaucracy will frustrate you and there is an extravagant waste of resources (unnecessary travels, meetings, etc).

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 Outdated development agency.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.
