Pros

Benefits if you are expat ar awesome. Help with us taxes if you are US Citizen

Cons

There is no functional employee talent management. Positions are filled by friends and colleagues of the decision makers, not the best candidates. ALso it is a thing of luck to be in the right place at the right time when positions open. Other than that career movements up or even lateral are scarce. If you invest in an education it doesn't matter, it is not recognized in terms of salary or a promotion.

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.
