Pros

Good life-work balance. Very interesting transactions across Latinamerica, the opportunity to help others in your work. Work stability, very intercultural place, lots of people from all around the country

Cons

Burocracy, zero meritocracy, lots of office politics. Salaries are not enough to live within the DC area, since DC has become very expensive in the last couple of years but the salaries have not been updated accordingly, the salary increases are laughable.

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.
