Pros

Good salary, theoritically a good job of high impact

Cons

People look the other way when they bribe officials, get rid of those who speak up, harrassment is normalized, and numbers are more important than impact.... They can plan a project, take 5 years to complete it, it is no longer relevant, and instead of shifting, they continue expanding because it looks good for them.

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.
