Business Outlook
Pros
At its core, the UN is a humanitarian organization and it is an honorable profession if one can ignore the politics and bureaucracy. It pays well and the benefits are good, especially for professional staff members. It's an exciting organization to work for, especially in the field or for peacekeeping missions.
Cons
Very difficult to enter into the system without knowing anyone on the inside. Often times vacancies posted are done so because it is a HR requirement. The majority of the positions are already meant for a particular individual.
