Pros

There are so many possibilities to accomplish substantial things and work with amazing fantastic people. There is lots going on with innovation and serious thinking about how to improve aid architecture.

Cons

At the same time, it is a gigantic bureaucracy, so get ready for office politics, power games, etc.--not to mention all manner of cross-cultural barriers to grapple with. Of course this stuff can be invigorating, but also stifling.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
