This “small country” has given me so much more than what I was looking for (…) and above all, the opportunity to work in the IT sector, one of the areas with the highest employment rate in the country. Most importantly, we have the same right and obligations as any other Uruguayan, something that is highly valued as an immigrant. Country of origin: Venezuela Year of arrival: 2017

Working in Uruguay is a great experience. You appreciate the extra benefits of a country with policies that support workers and better social conditions. That’s one of the main things that make me want to stay in Uruguay, besides the peace and quiet that I feel in the capital city. Country of origin: Colombia Year of arrival: 2012

Moving to Uruguay changed my life completely (...) the opportunities for career growth that this country offers is like nothing I have experienced before. It is also very technologically advanced, and the salaries are very competitive. Personally, being able to go to the beach all summer long after a day’s work is priceless. I am very grateful for the country and for Globant. Country of origin: Argentina Year of arrival: 2012
