Business Outlook
Pros
Working in an extraordinarily diverse environment with people who are personally and professionally committed to making the world a better place is as uncommon as it is fulfilling. There is great prestige associated with working for the UN, though this perception is not quite the same in the US as it is elsewhere.
Cons
OCHA, compared to other UN organizations I've worked, has never managed to carve out a clear role for itself in the UN System. The organization is poorly managed, and its direction shifts when its leadership changes, so consistency is poor. Information sharing within the organization and between OCHA and other agencies is also poor.
